The National Legal Adviser of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Kamaldeen Ajibade, has labeled members who publicly support the party while secretly aligning with other political factions as the most dangerous.
Ajibade made these remarks during an interview on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Monday. When questioned about the role of Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and the G5 group in the party’s electoral defeat in 2023, Ajibade emphasized that it would be unfair to single out Wike.
He explained that the G5 crisis was not solely about one individual and noted that the PDP is actively addressing issues of loyalty and discipline among its members. Ajibade stated, “I can see that your question is bordered purely on the issue of Wike, not talking about any other person. I think in addressing this issue, it’s always good to take it holistically and not look at the aspect of Wike.”
He further elaborated, “The role of Wike was in the aspect of the G5 that everybody believes made the party lose the chances in the 2023 election. The G5 was not just about Wike alone.”
Ajibade assured that the PDP is working to enforce discipline and ensure unity as part of its efforts to strengthen its structure for future elections. He remarked, “The most dangerous member of a political party is a member who is PDP in the daytime and somewhere else at night.”
Regarding Wike’s position, Ajibade acknowledged that Wike has been clear about his stance. He concluded by reiterating that the party is taking steps to address its internal discipline issues.
