Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, has outlined the conditions for restoring peace within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). According to Wike, the key to achieving peace lies in upholding the South-South zonal congress held in Calabar, which saw Chief Daniel Orbi emerge as National Vice Chairman.
Wike's Conditions for Peace
- *Upholding the South-South Zonal Congress*: Wike insists that the congress, which was court-approved, must be recognized and respected by all members of the party.
- *Legitimacy of the Congress*: He emphasized that the court allowed for the congress to hold, and there's nothing anyone can do about it.
- *No Room for Opposition*: Wike made it clear that any attempts to dismiss the congress would not be tolerated, and those who oppose it, including PDP governors, would face consequences.
Background
The call for peace comes amidst internal conflicts within the PDP, with Wike being a key stakeholder. His conditions for peace are centered around respecting the party's internal democratic processes and recognizing the outcomes of legitimate congresses ¹ ².
Implications
Wike's stance has significant implications for the PDP, particularly in terms of party unity and cohesion. By insisting on upholding the South-South zonal congress, Wike aims to promote stability and order within the party ³.
