Nyesom Wike

Dare Glintstone Akinniyi, the spokesperson of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Youth Group, has reacted to plans by the party to expel the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike over alleged antiparty activities.

Akinniyi insisted that the influence of Wike and his loyalists could not be overlooked while urging the reconciliation committee to bring everyone together.

The PDP stalwart shared his opinion during an interview with Legit.

Speaking on whether the PDP should expel Wike and other members of the G5 ahead of the 2027 general election, Akinniyi noted that such a move was “a banana peel”

He asserted that expelling Wike now the party was divided is wrong timing.

However, he urged the PDP reconciliation committee with doing what’s best for the party ahead of the 2027 election.

Akinniyi said: “At the moment, expelling anyone is a ‘banana peel’. If the expulsion had happened before the 2023 Elections, it will probably make some senses and understandable.

“As it stands now, the PDP is divided and we can’t overlook the influence of Wike and his loyalists. The reconciliation committee should bring everyone to the table again, and there should be sanctions for any actions that are against the tenets cum interest of the PDP, as a party henceforth.”
