Felix Hyat, Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kaduna State, has cautioned Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and former Governor of Rivers State, against actions that could harm the party. Hyat, a former Aviation Minister, made this appeal during an interview in Kaduna on Tuesday.
He urged Wike to seek resolution through dialogue rather than threatening PDP governors who support Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State. Hyat’s plea comes amidst the ongoing crisis within the party, which has seen Wike issuing threats against PDP governors supporting his successor.
During the PDP Congress in Port Harcourt on Saturday, Wike threatened to cause a political crisis in the states of any PDP governor who interfered in the party’s affairs in Rivers State. However, Hyat argued that the governors have a valid reason to be involved, as Fubara is the party’s candidate in the state.
Hyat emphasized the need for dialogue and reconciliation within the party, warning that Wike’s actions could have far-reaching consequences for the PDP. He urged Wike to work towards resolving the crisis amicably, rather than resorting to threats and intimidation.
The Kaduna PDP Chairman’s appeal comes as the party faces a critical period in its history, with internal conflicts threatening to undermine its chances in future elections.
