Why Atiku, Tambuwal, Others Should Be Suspended – Wike Tells PDP’s NWC
The minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike, has asked the National Working Committee (NWC), of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), to suspend three major stakeholders of the party.
Wike is asking the NWC to suspend; Atiku Abubakar, the party’s 2023 presidential election candidate; Sule Lamido, former Jigawa state governor and Aminu Tambuwal, former Sokoto state governor.
“I am calling on the National Working Committee of the party to, as a matter of urgency, suspend the presidential candidate of the party, suspend Aminu Tambuwal, suspend Sule Lamido …” Wike said while being interviewed on Channels Television.
Asked why he thinks he shouldn’t be suspended too, Wike he and the other members of the G5 should be congratulated for fighting for equity, fairness and justice.
“They know I didn’t do anything wrong. They should be congratulating us for fighting for equity, fairness and justice… ” he added.
When asked if he was not fighting against the will of the party, Wike added that the party was fighting against Nigerians.
“Is the party not against Nigerians? Who is superior? Is the party superior to Nigerians?
“There is a Constitution. But because you think you have the power, you don’t want to follow the Constitution.
“They think they can do anything without anybody which they know is not possible. You can’t succeed,” he added.
