Why Edo Deputy Governor, Philip Shuaibu must be disciplined – Wike
Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has called on the People’s Democratic Party leadership to take disciplinary action against Philip Shuaibu, the Deputy Governor of Edo State, for allegedly making anti-party remarks.
The governor stated that he has written to the PDP’s National Chairman, requesting the formation of a disciplinary committee against the Deputy Governor.
Governor Wike made the call on Saturday during the opening of the Eastern Bypass Road in Port Harcourt.
He accused Shuaibu of threatening to leave the PDP if he didn’t like it.
He said “This is the thing I am talking about impunity. I was watching when a Deputy governor was ranting in the media, threatening the party that there is an alternative to PDP.
“This is the same Deputy governor who knelt down to beg for us to give them an umbrella. Today, he has the effrontery to threaten PDP.”
Speaking on the recent judgement of the federal high court, Abuja which sacked Ebonyi State governor, Dave Umahi from office; Wike vowed that the PDP will pursue the matter up to the Supreme Court.
