Comrade Adams Abonu, the National Coordinator of the WAN, spoke to journalists in Abuja on Tuesday, describing the acrimony between the two PDP governors as “ill-timed” and susceptible of spawning bad blood inside the PDP ranks.
His words, ‘’It is rather unfortunate to observe how decorum and common sense was thrown into the wind by Governor Godwin Obaseki while trying to respond to the issues raised by his counterpart Governor Wike bothering on insurbordination to the party by the deputy governor of Edo State.
“Instead of approaching the germane issues raised by Wike with objectivity and sincerity, that the Edo State governor could descend to name-calling and vituperations was not expected of someone of Obaseki’s standing.
‘’Supporters of PDP and indeed Nigerians at large could observe the extent of Governor Wike’s determination in ensuring the reelection of Governor Obaseki and his deputy when their former party denied them the platform to seek reelection.
“The duo of Obaseki and Shuaibu turned the Rivers State Government House into a pilgrimage and looked up to the dexterity and political connections of Governor Wike during the run-up to the 2020 Edo guber election. To turn around and spite Governor Wike who superintended their successful reelection smacks of sheer ingratitude and amounts to biting the fingers that fed them.”
He went on to say that the group will take it upon themselves to arbitrate between the two sides in order to foster unity within the party.
Senator Iyorchia Ayu, the PDP’s National Chairman, is being urged to intervene in the party’s and supporters’ best interests.
Continuing, Comrade Abonu emphasized the importance of instilling discipline inside the party to prevent insubordination and secure the party’s supremacy at all levels.
‘’For a deputy governor to bypass all known channels of protocols and issue threats to a party like the PDP on national television is the height of impunity and this must be dealt with every sense of
correction. Being a well-known politician, Comrade Shuaibu should have known better than to sink to such a low level.
“The party is bigger than the ambition of any governor who is not able to carry every member along,’’ Abonu emphasized.
