Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees (BoT) Chairman, Adolphus Wabara has challenged the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike for saying that he (Wike) would have disowned him (Wabara) if he was his father.

Wabara said: “I would expect a man of his calibre and status to mind his language and words. He should be sure of his facts. But I don’t want to join issues with Wike and dignify him.”

“Frankly, for a son to disown his father, his father must have wronged him terribly. Can Wike please tell the world what it is I did wrong to him?”

“Talking about corruption, Nigerians know those who are corrupt, and I can proudly say and beat my chest that I’m not one of them. I, Adolphus Wabara, am not corrupt! I won’t be joining issues with people who have no respect for elders.”

For those who don’t know, this is what Wike said:

“It is wrong for PDP leaders to desperately seek the removal of the Acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum, and the National Secretary, Sam Anyanwu, despite court rulings.”

“If Wabara were my father, I would have disowned him. He doesn’t deserve to be a leader. No wonder Obasanjo made a presidential broadcast about his acts of corruption.”

“It doesn’t bother me at all. The matter is in the hands of the courts, and the party constitution is clear.
“If they resign, they must be replaced through elections. The fact that someone is trying to bypass this process doesn’t surprise me.”

“Some people are trying to manipulate the situation, but it will not succeed. The matter is in the courts, and we should respect the rule of law. We need to focus on resolving issues within the party, particularly with the upcoming convention.”

“Instead of stoking crises, the convention should take place as scheduled in December, and we should usher in a new executive.”
