FCT, Abuja – The Senate minority leader, Abba Patrick Moro, said the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike was allowed to attend the National Caucus meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) because he has not been found guilty of any crime and penalised by the party.

Why Wike was allowed to attend PDP national caucus meeting

He added that the disciplinary committee, headed by former Senate President, Bukola Saraki did not find Wike guilty of the alleged antiparty activities.

Giving insight into the matter, he said

“The constitution of our party is very clear on who is a member and who is not a member of the caucus of the party and I dare say, at this point, that as a former governor who is still a member of the party, Nyesom Wike is a member of the National Caucus of the party.

“If actions had been taken immediately after the elections and people who are perceived to have acted contrary to the desires and yearnings of the PDP have been sanctioned, then we can say that having been expelled or suspended, you can’t be here, but as it is, non of such actions have been taken, so you can’t just ban people from attending meetings.”

As reported by Leadership, the PDP national publicity secretary of PDP, Hon Debo Ologunagba said the party will not succumb to mob action mentality to punish members accused of anti-party activities.
