A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Dele Momodu, has charged the party’s leadership to punish the Federal Capital Capital Territory minister, FCT, Nyesom Wike.

Momodu said he would have punished Wike long ago for working against the party if he had his way.

The minister has been at loggerheads with Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State.

His rift with Fubara led to 25 state House of Assembly members loyal to him dumping PDP for APC while some commissioners also resigned from the state executive council.

However, Momodu said the PDP leadership cannot continue to tolerate Wike’s excesses and must stop his antics.

Featuring on Arise Television, Momodu said: “If I had the power, I would have punished Wike long ago. The PDP leadership must have its reasons for keeping him while he continues to trouble the party.

“He wants to eat his cake and have it.”
