The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory FCT, Nyesom Wike, has mounted a robust defence of the Peoples Democratic Partys PDP National Executive Committee NEC decision to appoint a committee to oversee the partys affairs, insisting that any attempt to ignore the move would amount to plunging the party into chaos.
Speaking during a media parley on Monday in the Rivers State capital, Port Harcourt, on the partys internal leadership crisis , Wike dismissed claims that the partys NEC acted outside its powers, stressing that the tenure of key party officers had clearly elapsed.
Those of them who believe in that convention are already abdicated, he said, pointing out that the National Secretaries, Legal Advisors, Deputy National Legal Advisors and Organising Secretaries had all acknowledged that our tenure will expire December 9th.
