Sanctions await Wike, others – PDP

The Acting Acting National Chairman of the People Democratic Party (PDP) Amb. Umar Damagum has said the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, and other members who worked against the party would be sanctioned at the appropriate time.

Damagum stated this in Abuja while addressing newsmen in Abuja on Tuesday.

The party helmsman who called out Wike at the press conference reiterated that the former governor is above the party, saying the party will show him that he is not above the party.

He said: “One thing I am conscious about is that there was never a time he said he his not a member of this party.

“The same members of this party, that believe he has done something wrong have also done something wrong to the party.

“And as for our stand about Wike, I have always say this thing that as long as you are a member of the PDP there is a time for everything.

“My duty is to stabilize this party and not to cause crisis. And I will continue to do that within the confine of reason.

“When things go out of hand, we will act. But meanwhile, we still see it within the ambit of the law. Mind you have other litigations going on at this party we won’t want to plunge our party into another crisis.

“And let me tell you something, is not only Wike, there are other people who worked against this party when we get to that level we will sanction everybody.

“If Wike believes is above this party, we will be able to show him that he is not above this party.

“One thing I am conscious about is that there was never a time he said his not a member of this party. The same members of this party, that believe he has done something wrong have also done something wrong to the party.,”

He also divulged to newsmen that the party recently approved and are about to inaugurate the 2023 review committee.

Among other functions he said the committee are to review what happened in 2023 and come out with a report not only about one person, but every person who has one way or another engaged in anti-party.

“Then after that, we will see what kind of measure to take,” he added.
