The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has responded to the claim by Governor Nyesom Wike that some members of its National Working Committee (NWC) are sycophants.
The party denied sponsoring a media publication to malign Governor Nyesom Wike in a statement released by PDP ‘s national secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, and further stated that it will not allow its enemies to distract within its fold ahead of the Edo state governorship election.
The statement read;
“The NWC also wishes to place on record that none of its members has acted like a “tax collector” in whatever meaning the term represents, either in the process leading to the Edo primary election, or any other state.
“Our party holds Governor Wike and indeed all our PDP governors, who, of course, have been the pillars of our great party, with utmost respect and had always consulted them on all party affairs.
“PDP appreciates the efforts and sacrifices of our governors and will not allow enemies of our party, who are out to cause disunity in our fold by sponsoring baseless publications against our leaders, to have their way.”
