PDP never summoned Wike – Nwogu

A member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Disciplinary Committee, Senator Olaka Nwogu, has dismissed claims that the party summoned the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.

Nwogu said the party’s disciplinary committee has yet to meet and deliberate on issues concerning Wike.

Recall that the PDP’s Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Ibrahim Abdullahi, had disclosed that the party summoned the FCT minister for alleged anti-party activities.

Abdullahi said Wike was scheduled to face the party’s disciplinary committee.

However, the former Rivers Southeast senator said individuals familiar with the situation contributed to spreading the misinformation for some personal reasons.

Nwogu said: “I am a member of the disciplinary committee of the party. I was disturbed when the report came that Nyesom Wike had been summoned at a time when the Disciplinary Committee has not even met to consider any of these things.

“There has been a lot of misinformation to the public sometimes by people who should know better, who shouldn’t do that for reasons they know best.

“There are allegations that are flying all over the place, and even the committee’s work is being put in a different light from what the committee has tried to do. The committee is still organizing itself to now look at its functions.”
