ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – The crisis rocking Nigeria’s main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), since 2022 is reportedly getting messier.
The Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, continued his feud with the party during an interview with a popular television station.
But reacting to Wike’s utterances, a top party chieftain, Dele Momodu, criticized the former Rivers State Governor, saying he is arrogant.
A report on Friday, 1 September, by This Day Newspaper quoted him as saying Wike is arrogant.

Momodu, a former presidential aspirant, also described some of the claims made by Wike in his recent interview with Channels Television as “lies”.
He said: “After watching this interview last night, I immediately called Mr Seun Okinbaloye of the Channels TV and told him I wished I was in Nigeria and would have come to respond to the many arrogant lies he allowed Minister Nyesom Wike to get away with.”
The media entrepreneur further asked: “When did Wike become the sole owner of PDP that he cannot be disciplined by a 25-year-old political party? It would have been nice to know if he founded the party or when he acquired majority shares in it since he now has more money than Aliko Dangote.”
