The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ali Modu Sheriff has alleged that Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike gave N50m to former President Goodluck Jonathan to organise the recent stakeholders meeting in Abuja.
Speaking through his deputy, Dr. Cairo Ojougboh at a news conference at the party’s secretariat on Thursday, Sheriff said Wike and his Ekiti counterpart, Ayodele Fayose lured Jonathan into a fake peace effort.
“The result is that President Jonathan was lured into committing a serious breach of protocol that led to the failure of the exercise which was the intended outcome”, Sheriff said.
He alleged Wike and media owner, Raymond Dokpesi already established a party but were bent on destroying the PDP.
“This money belongs to the people of Rivers State and it should not be misappropriated at the expense of the people to whom it rightfully belonged.
“We therefore call on party leaders and Nigerians to refrain from accepting these monies from Governor Wike in line with the spirit of our founding fathers”, Sheriff added.
Sheriff also said preparations were ongoing to conduct a free and fair convention.
Sheriff directed state chapter chairmen of the PDP to forward to the party secretariat the lists of all statutory delegates to the convention on or before April 27.
