The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has called on the leadership of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to take disciplinary action against Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shuaibu over his alleged comments against the party.

The governor declared that he has written to the National Chairman of the PDP asking that a disciplinary committee be set up against the Deputy governor over his recent actions.

Governor Wike made the demand at the inauguration of the Eastern Bypass Road in Port Harcourt on Saturday.

He accused Shuaibu of threatening to leave the PDP, by saying that there’s an alternative to the PDP.

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.’

Wike went on to lament that the actions of the deputy Governor was uncalled for and unfortunate.

Africa Daily News, New York recalls that the Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shuibu had a few days accused the party leadership of not carrying every stakeholder along in its decision making.

He maintained that if the trend is not reversed, he could consider alternatives noting that the PDP is not the only political party in Nigeria.

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.

Meanwhile, Umahi had on Saturday held a closed door meeting with the leader of the APC, Bola Tinubu.
