We’ll no longer tolerate attacks on Wike, PDP Youths warn Fubara, Ugochinyere
The youth wing of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has warned the Rivers Governor, Siminalayi Fubara and Honourable Ikenga Ugochinyere to stop attacking the Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
The group cautioned that they will no longer tolerate disrespect aimed at the former Rivers governor.
Tabling their anger before the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas on Friday, the group, under the aegis of PDP National Progressive Youth Initiative, knocked Ugochinyere, who is a member representing Ideato North South Federal Constituency of Imo State.
Speaking on behalf of the PDP Youths, the president of the group, Comrade Billy Matthew Nwachukwu and its Secretary General, David Terna Gondo said they were fed up with the actions of Ugochinyere against Wike.
“Ugochinyere, an opposition Lawmaker in the House of Representatives, has been on the forefront of campaigns against the FCT Minister while supporting Governor Fubara on virtually all his actions in Rivers,” the PDP group said.
The PDP group warning comes on the heels of Ugochinyere’s media outing two days ago, where he accused Wike of plotting to stop Governor Fubara from accessing State Funds via court orders, which he alleged were being instituted by the APC and Pro-Wike group.
Ugochinyere was quoted as saying, “The APC and Pro-Wike group, as I am speaking, is filing a suit at the Federal High Court to help them seize the allocation of the entire Rivers State. This is the second of such cases by the Wike group to bring about constitutional disorder.
“They have a pending case seeking to seize the entire Rivers allocation/LGA funds they filed, and now they are using the Wike-APC faction to file another suit seeking an order to stop the Federal Accounts Allocation Committee,” while calling on President Bola Tinubu to prevail on his Minister.
Reacting, the PDP Youth group berated Governor Fubara and Ugochinyere, noting that they were both trying to escape from due process, accountability and transparency.
Describing Wike as a great asset to Nigeria and the government of President Tinubu, the PDP youth group threatened to occupy the National Assembly complex if Speaker Abbas doesn’t tame Ugochinyere and is allowed to engage in further attacks or unparliamentary conduct against the FCT Minister.
“The both entities have become scared of public accountability and blaming their inability to conduct a proper Local Government election that will satisfy elementary law.
“The PDP will no longer tolerate further attacks on the Minister of FCT, His Excellency, Nyesom Wike, who is working day and night for the government and the people of Nigeria to succeed with his infrastructural drive in the FCT.
“The question we would like to ask, is, why are Fubara and Ugochinyere running from pillar to pole, blackmailing the judiciary, the Minister of the FCT and everything by everyone else except Fubara?
“We know the antecedents of some fake activists, who have no other source of livelihood but to blackmail innocent citizens, and unfortunately, they found their way into the National Assembly.
“It is high time we called on the good people of Ideato Federal Constituency to beg their busybody and eye service Lawmaker to focus on his job. Let him concentrate on why the people voted for him, and peradventure he is bereft of the logic of lawmaking, he should not pretend about it. He should admit his ineptitude and allow someone take his seat,” the group said.
