 Former Jigawa State Governor and chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Sule Lamido, has declared that he will not attend party meetings unless Nyesom Wike and Samuel Ortom among others are expelled.


Lamido made the Wike and Ortom expel declaration in an interview with journalists.

The former Foreign Affairs Minister who incidentally is a member of two statutory organs of the party, the National Executive Committee, (NEC) and Board of Trustees, (BoT) listed Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike and former Benue State Governor, Dr Samuel Ortom amongst individuals who should have been expelled from the main opposition party for working against its interest in the 2023 general elections.


Lamido who recalled his stewardship as National Secretary of the defunct Social Democratic Party when he championed the expulsion of late Arthur Nzeribe from the SDP, expressed regret over lack of discipline in the PDP.


He said: “During our time, the party was supreme. It held full authority, and everyone respected it, whether in the North, South, East, or West. Anyone — no matter how influential — who crossed the party line would be sanctioned.


“Today, people openly working against the PDP are still being tolerated. “Someone like Wike, who claims to love the PDP but is clearly undermining it, should be expelled by the NWC. Why hasn’t that happened?


“Look at the Board of Trustees (BOT). People like Ortom, who declared support for Peter Obi in 2023, are still members. That’s why I’ve said I will not attend any PDP meeting unless Wike is expelled and people like Ortom are removed from the BOT. I remain a PDP member, but I will not participate in party functions or answer calls to meetings while these individuals remain in leadership.


“How can I sit with someone like Ortom in the BOT to discuss the future of PDP? Or someone like Anyanwu, who is rejected in his own zone and now being imposed by another zone? These are impostors.”


The former Jigawa State Governor described the FCT Minister as in ingrate, bent on destroying the PDP which he noted was the platform that brought him to political relevance.


“Here is someone who was honoured by the PDP, brought into relevance by the PDP, and now turns around to fight the very party that made him. Wike is, quite frankly, a disaster. “What he has done is un-African and un-Nigerian.


“I don’t understand how someone, simply because of his own ambition, can take things so personally and act so destructively. There used to be a party culture that prioritized collective good — something altruistic — but that seems lost now.

POLITICAL SOLUTION CAN CRUMBLE THE FIASCO BETWEEN AKPABIO AND NATASHA IN SPLIT SECONDS

  POLITICAL SOLUTION CAN CRUMBLE THE FIASCO BETWEEN AKPABIO AND NATASHA IN SPLIT SECONDS  The altercation between the two Senators is potentially turning one of our most revered institutions into a semblance of the fuji house of commotion where illegality and corruption are rife. The unfortunate thing is that both Senator Akpabio and Senator Natasha are more of Southern Political Enclave with the Kogi Central Senator's marriage to the Allema Of Warri; Chief Emmanuel Uduaghan while the President of the Senate is representing a senatorial district in Akwa Ibom State where he had once served for eight years as a Governor.  Are the rest of Southern Senators rallying round the Senate President to nip in the board the saga between the two Parliamentarians? It is a matter that will escalate boundlessly if it is  handled with kid gloves.  All the Governors, Leaders of thought and Traditional rulers of the South-South Origin should get their axes together before the invi...
