The rejection of the report by the Party’s National Secretariat invalidates claims by Wike and his loyalists that the Party had conducted the South South Zonal Congress.
Efforts by FCT Minister Nyesom Wike to take over the structure of the PDP has suffered a major setback as the National Secretariat of the Party has rejected a report submitted to it from the sham South South Zonal Congress in Calabar, Cross River State, which the PDP had dismissed as a social gathering that had nothing to do with the Party.
“The PDP calls on all party members in the South South Zone, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Security Agencies and the Media to disregard any gathering or outcome of any gathering in Calabar, Cross River State purported to be the South South Zonal Congress of the PDP. “Our Party will in due course and through its official channels communicate a new date for the conduct of the South South Zonal Congress” the statement read.
