November 20, 2024 11:38 pmSegun Sowunmi, a chieftain in the Peoples Democratic Party , says President Bola Tinubu is the cause of the crisis in the opposition party.The former Ogun PDP governorship candidate said the appointment of Nyesom Wike as federal capital territory minister by Tinubu is causing problems within the party.
“He has no business appointing our member into his cabinet without talking to us. He had no business taking Nyesom Wike from our party and appointing him.”Sowunmi noted that former President Olusegun Obasanjo consulted with opposition parties when forming a government of national unity. “If he wants our party to be okay, he should sack Wike and return him to PDP, but of course, he is not going to do that.”Sowunmi rejected claims that the PDP is on the brink of collapse, noting that the party has survived a lot of turbulent periods.
“If you do something that is ultra vires, they’ll come back and tell you it’s ultra vires; we can’t do anything about it under the circumstances.
