Rupture In PDP Governors’ Forum deepens
By Ojomah Austin.
The evolving fall-out, which comes barely days to the contentious National Executive Committee (NEC) of PDP, followed a back and forth between the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike and the Governors forum, who declared support for Rivers State governor, Siminalayi Fubara to be made leader of the party in the state.
After a meeting with some members of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) in Bauchi on Wednesday, Governor Mohammed, said “According to our party’s constitution, any leadership vacancy should be filled by someone from the region where it originated,” stressing that Damagum would be replaced soon considering that he hails from North East and not the North Central.
Same day, Makinde, during the groundbreaking of the upgrading of Ladoke Akintola Airport, Ibadan, to an international airport, which was attended by another set of NWC members, led by Damagum, said he would support whatever decision the Damagum-led NWC would take to reposition the party.
Damagum, who is considered a close ally of Nyesom Wike, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, was appointed acting national chairman after the removal of Iyorchia Ayu in June 2023.
Meanwhile, the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the PDP led by Senator Adolph Wabara, met with members of the National Assembly caucus in Abuja.
The close door meeting comes barely hours after the BoT met with Wike in Abuja.
While Wabara refused to comment on the essence of the meeting with the lawmakers, it was noticed that most of the lawmakers didn’t honour the invitation.

Adeyanju talks from both sides of his mouth -CRP slams activist
…last year he hailed Tinubu for appointing Wike
…as Rivers Gov, Adeyanju outlined his remarkable achievements
…and now he’s mocking Wike as being too old
Concerned Rivers People CRP has accused activist lawyer, Deji Adeyanju as speaking from both sides of his mouth over his recent utterances on FCT minister, Nyesom Wike.
The group in a statement issued and signed by its Director of Communications Robinson Uke on Saturday, they asserted that the social media influencer talks from both sides of his mouth.
It recalled how in 2023 , Adeyanju took his social media and poured encomiums on president Bola Tinubu for appointing thoroughbred administrator as FCT minister.
Still going on memory lane, Wike as Rivers Governor, same Adeyanju hailed him(Wike) for embarking on massive rejuvenation of projects in the state using Largos as a yardstick.
Adeyanju did not stop there, barely three months after Wike’s emergence as FCT minister, he showered praises on him.
On PDP, same man (Adeyanju) heaped praises on Wike and Ortom as the bulwarks of the party and how Wike single handedly sustained the party from not kicking the bucket.
“If we may ask, what has changed that made Wike an aging personality suddenly after all these encomiums?
“Could it be that he didn’t get an expected favour from Wike? Or is all these activism just part of stomach infrastructure.
