Former Rivers State Governor and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has asked for the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and former Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal, to be suspended.
On Channels Television on Thursday, September 7, Wike argued that the PDP lost the presidential election due to high-handedness, avarice, and impunity.
He also denied former PDP presidential aspirant Dele Momodu’s appeal for his expulsion from the party, claiming that Momodu is ‘politically irrelevant’ and incapable of winning an election in his local government area.

Wike also praised the Justices of the Presidential Election Petition Court for their efforts. He added that the judgment that confirmed President Bola Tinubu’s win was significant because it was founded on good technical and practical reasoning.
He said; “The will of the people is determined through the ballot box. How could the PDP have won the election when you consider the mood of the nation at that time?
“Look at the areas that the PDP did not win because of high-handedness, because of greed because of impunity. If the PDP had done what they were supposed to do, then you could have talked about that.
“There should be equity, there should be justice, there should be fairness and that is why I am calling on the National Working Committee, they should suspend the presidential candidate, suspend people like Aminu Tambuwal so that they can rebuild the party (PDP).”
