PDP replies Govenor Wike, says won't allow enemies cause distraction ahead of Edo polls

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has replied Rivers State Governor Nyeson Wike who called leaders of the Party tax collectors and sychophats.

The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan disclosed that members of the party’s NWC are not tax collectors.

PDP was reacting to Wike’s decision to pull out of the reconciliation efforts in its Edo State Chapter.

Wike had accused some members of PDP’s NWC of being sycophants and tax collectors who will never tell the truth.

But Ologbondiyan, reacting to the insinuation in a statement said the party won’t allow its enemies cause distraction within its fold, ahead of the Edo State governorship election.

The statement reads: “The NWC also wishes to place on record that none of its members has acted like a “tax collector” in whatever meaning the term represents, either in the process leading to the Edo primary election, or any other state.

“Our party holds Governor Wike and indeed all our PDP governors, who, of course, have been the pillars of our great party, with utmost respect and had always consulted them on all party affairs.

“PDP appreciates the efforts and sacrifices of our governors and will not allow enemies of our party, who are out to cause disunity in our fold by sponsoring baseless publications against our leaders, to have their way.”
