A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Emmanuel Ogidi, said the party plans to sanction members accused of indiscipline, particularly the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
Ogidi made the remarks on Wednesday during an interview with Arise Television, where he described the crisis within the party as internal sabotage.
He said the PDP had moved beyond the demands put forward by Wike’s camp, insisting that the party belonged to the people rather than any individual or group.
Ogidi accused Wike of serving the interests of the All Progressives Congress (APC) despite being a PDP member. He alleged that the APC was using the minister to undermine democracy and warned that the party would soon take action.
The PDP chieftain said the party would no longer tolerate indiscipline and that members found to be working against its interests would face sanctions. He added that efforts at reconciliation should not be mistaken for an acceptance of disorder within the party.
Despite defections, court cases and disagreements over zoning, Ogidi maintained that the PDP remained strong and would not be destroyed by its internal challenges.
He said the party was concentrating on ensuring the success of its forthcoming convention as it prepares for the 2027 general elections.
