*Rivers Assembly Crisis: Blame Wike For Your Woes, PDP Youths Tell Martins, Ex-Members*

Th People’s Democratic Party (PDP) National Solidarity Vanguard has blamed former Governor Nyesom Wike for the 'monumental loss' of about 25 Rivers State Assembly seats.

The PDP group accused the FCT Minister of using Hon. Amaewhule Martins and other ex-PDP lawmakers as cannon fodder in his ill-advised fight with his successor, Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

In December, the assembly members loyal to the immediate past governor defected to the All Progressives Congress in the wake of the political impasse involving him and Governor Fubara.

Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday in Abuja, Hon. Usman Saidu Calculus, the Executive Director of the PDP National Solidarity Vanguard described Wike as a saboteur working against the party.

Calculus said the former governor is blinded by his financial muscle and doesn't understand the true essence of leadership

"Wike, once a prominent member of our party played a pivotal role in this monumental loss. His actions have cost us dearly, and we cannot remain silent," the statement said.

"To the extent that he has weakened the party for the APC, we can no longer consider him a member of our party. He is already enjoying the 30 pieces of silver he sold the PDP for.

"We must express our anger, disappointment, and resolve to protect the integrity of the PDP. But why did this happen? Why did lawmakers who were elected on our platform abandon their mandates, and throw away twenty-five parliamentary seats in one day?

"The answer lies in the unchecked ambition of one man—Nyesom Wike. His financial muscle, while impressive, blinded him to the true essence of leadership. Money alone cannot sustain a political movement; it takes wisdom, humility, and a genuine commitment to the people. Only such arrogance that makes him continue to parade himself as a chieftain of the PDP even when his habitual treachery is glaring for all to see.

"Femi Falana (SAN), the legal luminary whose insights we respect, has rightly pointed out that political parties are not mere vehicles for personal gain. They are institutions that serve the collective interest of the citizens. Wike’s actions, driven by hubris and a disregard for due process, have undermined our party’s cohesion and unity. "

The PDP group, therefore, called on the party leadership to take decisive action and expel Wike from the party.

"Let this be a stern message to all who would put their ambitions above the party’s well-being and future. We cannot afford to lose more lawmakers or members in other states, especially when the stakes are now so high ahead of the next general elections," the statement added.

"Our solidarity vanguard stands firm. We will not waver in our
commitment to the PDP’s principles. Let us rally together, rebuild our ranks, and emerge stronger. Our party deserves leaders who uphold its values, not those who undermine them."

Wike really miscalculated this thing.

If not by now Fubara would have been a goner.

Thank God for Wike mistake

The PDP is a party of spineless cowards

Thank God for Wike mistake

As in ehn.
I believe someone asked them to leave the party.
Someone who they think is an ally but is not, and the person is working for SIM.
Cos i wonder how all of them collectively left the party in one day without warning.

This person is calculative and influential in politics

Fubara 9
Wike 0

Sim fubara is way too smart than wike.

COMRADES, wike is Goliath while Fubara is David
Wike is killed spiritually what is left now is the spiritual burial
Useless drunkard

Lazy youths. The clueless empty drum is heading nowhere. Look for something with value to support.

Like the Edo lawmakers that relocated to Abuja to meet Oshiomhole, let them also relocate to Abuja to meet Wike afterall he is a serving minister. He can afford to pay their monthly salary.
But Fubara must be allowed to govern in peace.

He made a very stupid mistake

When you take advice from an early morning
drunkard, you will end up like Martins and the 24 lawbreakers.

Pride kill them, they would have remain in PDP to finish Fubara before going out but devil used their brain to fry eggs

I hope they CANNOT decamp back to PDP? Ehn because these politicians are like prostitutes.
Let them go and canvas for votes under APC in Rivers State, when no bi Lagos. They will realize that PDP and LP hold all aces in SS

okoo

Please can someone summarize the story of was is happening in Rivers
