The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State has taken a bold step to address alleged anti-party activities by some of its members, including former Governor Nyesom Wike, during the 2023 general elections. The party’s acting executive committee has announced its decision to establish a disciplinary panel to investigate actions perceived as detrimental to the party’s interests.
The disciplinary panel, which is expected to be set up in the coming days, will be tasked with probing the activities of party members who allegedly worked against the PDP’s electoral efforts. The committee has emphasized that it will not hesitate to recommend sanctions against any member found culpable, regardless of their influence or position within the party.
According to a statement by the acting leadership, the disciplinary measures could include suspension or even expulsion for those found guilty of undermining the PDP’s electoral efforts. This move underscores the party’s determination to enforce discipline and maintain cohesion within its ranks.
Although the PDP leadership did not mention specific names, the decision comes amid ongoing speculation about former Governor Wike’s role during the 2023 elections. Wike, now serving as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory in the APC-led federal government, has faced accusations from some party members of working against PDP candidates during the polls.
The establishment of this disciplinary panel marks a significant turning point in the Rivers PDP’s post-election evaluation process. Party insiders suggest that the probe could lead to heightened tensions, especially if prominent members are implicated.
It’s worth noting that this development is part of a broader effort by the Rivers PDP to reposition itself after the 2023 elections. The party has been undergoing a period of introspection, with a focus on identifying areas of improvement and strengthening its internal structures.
As the disciplinary panel begins its work, all eyes will be on the Rivers PDP to see how it navigates this sensitive and potentially contentious issue. One thing is clear: the party is determined to enforce discipline and maintain cohesion within its ranks, even if it means taking tough decisions.
