Tom Fredfish, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Akwa Ibom State, says that Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike must be expelled for his recent utterances.

Fredfish, reacting to Wike's boast last weekend during the PDP state congress in Rivers State, described the former governor’s remarks as “vexatious.”

Former Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has threatened to instigate a crisis in the state due to governors interfering with the state's politics after they approached the party’s national leadership to hand over the party’s structure in Rivers State to Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Daily Post, Fredfish called on President Bola Tinubu, whose government Wike is serving, to caution him against starting a fracas in the state and unleashing mayhem on state governors supporting Fubara.

According to him, “Wike is now a loose cannon that must be tamed by the PDP.”

“It’s sad that an APC appointee who worked against the success of the PDP in the 2023 general election will dish out such egocentric and superman threats to PDP state governors when we convincingly know that he does not possess such powers.

“Wike should know that not all State governors are like former Gov Ben Ayade who he frustrated out of Cross River State PDP. His influence has finished and waned down.

“I am wondering where he got such temerity from like he owns the PDP.

“Can wike influence anybody in Akwa Ibom State against Governor Umo Eno, who will listen to him?

“The PDP should put their house in order and speak boldly against his tyrannical cravings.

“The party should stop acting like its name is Wike-PDP PLC, and halt this madness before it destroys the party.

“The former governor has committed countless anti-party offenses and should be shown out of the party.

“More so president Tinubu should call him to order as his speeches are unbecoming of a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and a threat to civility and his administration.”

Fredfish added that Wike lacked the capacity to make real his threats going by his antecedents.

“Wike has become a clown in Nigeria’s political scene wherein he says one thing and does another thing.

“Let me state clearly that Wike is at the mercy of his governor who has threatened to probe his administration and if you could recall that when that threat was dished out by Fubara, Wike kept quiet.

“I’m very sure that PDP governors are not fools, they will tame him (Wike) at the appropriate time. Wike should not be taken seriously, he has lost credibility, because he will say one thing and do another,” he observed.
