Wike Crossed Red Line When He Called For Atiku’s Suspension

EKO HOT BLOG reports that Dr. Don Pedro Obaseki, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) during the last election, has criticized Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and former Rivers State governor, for his call to suspend the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

Wike made this statement during an appearance on the ‘Politics Today’ program on Channels Television, where he highlighted issues of high-handedness, greed, and impunity within the PDP as factors contributing to their electoral losses in certain areas.

“There should be equity, there should be justice, there should be fairness and that is why I am calling on the National Working Committee, they should suspend the presidential candidate, suspend people like Aminu Tambuwal so that they can rebuild the party (PDP).”

But reacting in an interactive session with newsmen yesterday in Abuja, Obaseki said bigwigs in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) should also get ready for Wike’s “betrayal”, saying the PDP will no longer accept any impunity from Wike.

He said, “He is the most rewarded betrayer in the history of our recent politics. From his time with Rotimi Amaechi, Goodluck Jonathan, Peter Odili, Atiku Abubakar and now his time with Bola Tinubu.

“Wike coming out to ask for the suspension of the number one leader of the party and the presidential flag bearer of the party and the recipient of the mandate of the Nigerian people as declared in INEC’s submission that we won 21 states and asking Atiku to be suspended from the party, Wike has crossed the red line and now, he should be ready.

“He has all the money to fight us back because we are coming at him like a thousand bricks. I am sure Wike went to Law School. I am sure he is a lawyer and he knows that ‘he who is ready for peace should prepare for war.’
