PDP Crisis: Showunmi Calls Out Atiku And Wike

Ex-PDP Aspirant Accuses Atiku and Wike of Causing Chaos in the Party

Alright, folks, let’s dive right into it. Segun Showunmi, a former gubernatorial candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State, has thrown some shade at two big names in Nigerian politics—Atiku Abubakar and Nyesom Wike. Showunmi isn’t holding back, blaming these heavyweights for the current turmoil rocking the party. This isn’t just a squabble; it’s a full-blown crisis that’s dividing the PDP at its core.

Now, let’s break it down. The PDP is currently stuck in a leadership battle over who should hold the position of national secretary. It’s a tug-of-war between Samuel Anyanwu and Sunday-Ude-Okoye, and despite a Supreme Court ruling trying to sort things out, the fight rages on. It’s like the court said, “You guys figure it out,” and they’re still stuck in the mud.

Supreme Court Ruling: A Temporary Fix or Just More Chaos?

Here’s the deal: the Supreme Court essentially handed the decision back to the PDP, expecting them to sort it out internally. But guess what? That hasn’t happened. Anyanwu insists he’s still the rightful national secretary, while the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party, in a statement delivered by its spokesman, Kola Ologunagba, recognized Ude-Okoye. So, we’re back to square one—or maybe square negative one.

This isn’t just a bureaucratic mess; it’s a reflection of deeper divisions within the party. And that’s where Showunmi comes in, pointing fingers at Atiku and Wike for exacerbating the situation. He’s not pulling punches, folks. This is serious stuff, and it’s affecting the party’s credibility and unity.

Showunmi Speaks Out on Social Media

Over the weekend, Showunmi took to his 𝕏 handle to address some criticism he’d received. Someone accused him of supporting Wike, and he was quick to clarify. “Listen, I don’t side with Atiku, and I don’t side with Wike,” he said. But here’s the kicker: he also dropped some wisdom on the situation. He warned that if things continue as they are, the fight between Atiku and Wike could tear the PDP apart.

In a comment on his post, a user expressed disappointment in Showunmi’s stance, suggesting that Atiku should step aside and be a leader. But Showunmi wasn’t having it. He responded with a powerful message: “Now this is the crux of the matter! No one should be bullied out of their legitimate ambitions. You people are too focused on Atiku Abubakar and Nyesom Wike. I warned them both—if they’re not careful, their fight will destroy the PDP.”

So, there you have it. The PDP is at a crossroads, and the actions—or inactions—of its leaders could determine its future. Will they find a way to unite, or will the infighting continue? Only time will tell.
