Wike urges PDP to reconcile with aggrieved members, promises fair treatment

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader, Nyesom Wike, has called on aggrieved members of the party to return, assuring them that their entitlements would be protected if they rejoin the fold.

Speaking at the party’s 108th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held Monday at Wadata Plaza in Abuja, Wike said many members who left the PDP did so because of uncertainty and the need for political refuge.

He urged the party leadership to immediately begin reconciliation efforts.

“The chairman and his team should set up a strong committee to reach out to those who are aggrieved. There is room for them to come back, and whatever is due to them will still be given,” he said.

The former Rivers State governor warned that unresolved internal disputes could weaken the PDP’s chances in future elections, stressing the need for unity.

“In life, there must be a period of crisis. What matters is how we resolve the crisis. Now that we are together, we must not stop at reconciliation,” Wike added.

He also reaffirmed his loyalty to the PDP, dismissing speculation about a possible exit from the party.

“I have been a member of this party since 1998 and I will not leave. Whatever happens, we will continue to live as members of the PDP,” he stated.
