Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike condemned the dissolution of the Ekiti State Executive Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) by the Iyorchia Ayu‑led National Working Committee (NWC), calling it an act of tyranny. He announced that his administration will contest the dissolution in court.
Speaking at the campaign flag‑off rally organized by the State PDP Campaign Council in Bori, Khana Local Government Area, on Saturday, Wike challenged PDP National Chairman Ayu to suspend him or any of the G‑5 governors, warning that the NWC’s resort to despotism will not serve the party’s interests in the upcoming general elections.
Wike emphasized the need to uphold the rule of law within the PDP, noting that many party members remain committed to its constitution. He said, “Let me also use this opportunity to tell Iyorchia Ayu and his team that dissolving the Ekiti State Exco will not help you in any way. Suspending people will not help you either. The battle line has been fully drawn. As I speak to you, we will do everything legally possible to challenge any decision we know is illegal.”
