The acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), Umar Damagum, said on Tuesday the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, other rebels in the party would be sanctioned by the party’s leadership at the appropriate time.
Damagum, who spoke at a press conference in Abuja, stressed that the former Rivers State governor and others in his group are above the party.
Wike led four others – Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State and the trio of former governors Samuel Ortom (Benue), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu) – to work against the PDP and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in the February 25 election.
