A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan, on Wednesday, charged Nigerians to allow the party breathe.
Ologbondiyan made the call in reaction to the rift between PDP’s former presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom.
Stressing that the party is larger than Atiku and Wike, the former PDP’s National Publicity Secretary urged them to make peace in the interest of the party.
Featuring on Channels Television’s Morning Brief, the PDP chieftain said the party should not be brought down to the views of what Wike or Atiku’s faction are saying.
PDP is currently experiencing a leadership crisis which dates back to the build-up of the 2023 presidential election.
The rift led to Wike working against Atiku and PDP during the presidential election.
Wike had formed the G-5 Integrity group from PDP consisting of four ex-governors and one current governor who worked for President Bola Tinubu and Peter Obi of the Labour Party, LP.
With no end in sight, Ologbondiyan said: “I look forward to the day when the PDP will be allowed to breathe without the issue of former vice president Atiku Abubakar or the current minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike.
“The PDP is larger than two individuals. It is a party of millions of people, and we cannot permanently reduce it to the level of what one side or the other is saying.
“What of those who don’t have sides and have moved beyond the election and the 2023 convention?”
