Acting chairman of Rivers State chapter of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Robinson Ewor, has accused President Bola Tinubu of bankrolling Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, to destroy the opposition party.

Speaking during an interview with Arise News on Monday, Mr Ewor declared that Mr Wike is no longer a true member of the PDP.

He said the minister’s loyalty now lies with the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, wondering why he was yet to resign from the PDP.

“Nyesom Wike, FCT minister, is no longer a member of the PDP. Nyesom Wike today exists in PDP because he is on a mission to destroy the PDP, to destroy the opposition in the country, not just Rivers State,” Mr Ewor said.

He further alleged that Mr Wike’s insistence on keeping Sam Anyanwu as the PDP’s National Secretary, despite internal opposition, is part of a broader plan to destabilise the opposition party ahead of the 2027 general elections.

“That is why today he is insisting that Sam Anyanwu remain national secretary. What is his business? You are serving an APC government. You have pledged your loyalty to the APC.

“You have said it openly and publicly that you will support the APC in the 2027 general election. What business does Wike still have in the APC?” Mr Ewor asked pointedly.

He added, that “in good conscience, let’s leave the law and every other thing. In good conscience, can Nigerians still see Wike as a member of the PDP? The answer is no.

“To us in Rivers, Wike is no longer a member of the PDP. He is only here to destroy the PDP, to destroy the opposition. And the president is helping him. That is the irony of it. The president is funding Wike,” he alleged.
