Ugochinyere slams PDP govs, leaders for allowing Wike to attend caucus meeting

A member of the House of Representatives representing Ideato North and South Federal Constituency of Imo State, Ikenga Ugochinyere, has slammed the National Caucus of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and governors elected on the platform of the party for allowing a serving All Progressives Congress, APC, government official in their closed door meeting.

Ugochinyere accused PDP of being weak, wondering how it wanted to capture power in 2027 when it allowed a person campaigning for APC to stampede its meeting.

The lawmaker’s assertion was contained in a post on his X handle on Thursday.

He said, “Is this really happening to us?
PDP governors and National Caucus members sat helplessly without anyone standing up to stop a serving APC government official from entering their closed door caucus meeting in abuja few hours ago.

“How weak can a party that claims that it wants to capture power in 2027 be by allowing a man campaigning for APC to stampede their meeting?”

The statement followed reports that the ex-governor of Rivers State was allowed to attend the party’s caucus meeting ahead of today’s National Executive Council, NEC, meeting.

Wike is currently serving as minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.

The former River’s governor led five rebel governors who worked against the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in the last presidential election.
