The Peoples Democratic Party in Plateau State has suspended its Southern Zone Vice Chairman, Mankup Peter Tongshep, for one month over alleged anti-party activities.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to Nivo News, the suspension takes immediate effect and was announced by the party’s State Working Committee in a statement released on Thursday in Jos. The statement, signed by the State Publicity Secretary, Choji Felix Dalyop, stated that the action was taken in line with Section 57(1) of the party’s 2017 constitution as amended.

The party explained that the decision followed alleged violations under Sections 58(1)(i) and (j), identified after a preliminary hearing. As part of the directive, Tongshep has been barred from carrying out his official duties throughout the duration of the suspension.

It was further disclosed that the case has been referred to the State Disciplinary Committee for detailed investigation and recommendations, in accordance with Section 57(3) of the party’s constitution.

The Plateau PDP reiterated its commitment to discipline and strict adherence to the rule of law, emphasizing that no member is above the party’s regulations.

The development comes amid a growing internal crisis within the Plateau chapter of the PDP, marked by the emergence of parallel leadership structures. One faction, reportedly aligned with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, had earlier conducted a parallel congress in Jos, where Tongshep was declared state chairman, a move rejected by the party’s recognised leadership.

In a related development, a founding member of the party, Damishi Sango, defended the parallel congress, describing it as necessary for the survival of the party in the state. He maintained that the exercise, which he said was peaceful, produced Tongshep alongside 38 other executive members.

Sango insisted that the executives produced by his faction represent the legitimate leadership of the party, while describing the rival group led by Raymond Dabo as illegal. Despite the dispute, he stated that he holds no personal grievances against Dabo, whom he described as a long-time associate.

He also urged party members to set aside their differences and work together to reposition the PDP ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The lingering crisis has further deepened divisions within the Plateau PDP, with rival factions continuing to lay claim to the party’s leadership in the state.

Bwala spoke during an interview on Arise Television, where he addressed questions about the video and the current performance of the power sector under the Tinubu administration.

According to him, the administration has already begun implementing reforms in the power sector, including policy decisions and new legislative measures aimed at improving electricity supply.

He maintained that progress is ongoing and that the focus should be on what has been achieved so far rather than expectations for future electoral outcomes.

Bwala added that Nigerians will ultimately decide at the appropriate time whether the president deserves another term based on his overall performance.

Published

on

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has denied claims that he ordered the revocation of the licence of Rainbow Event Centre, which hosted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) national convention on February 14, 2026.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Wike said the party should stop blaming him for its internal issues, insisting that the ADC is already heading towards political failure on its own.

The ADC had alleged that FCT authorities denied it access to venues for its convention and attempted to stop the use of the Rainbow Event Centre before the event eventually held there.

Reacting, Wike said investigations have already been launched into the matter and directed his Chief of Staff to identify any staff member involved in the alleged interference.

He stated: “We will not allow people to just wake up and say the FCT Minister did this or that. I have told my Chief of Staff to find out from the company which staff member interfered. We will get to the bottom of this.”

Meanwhile, Wike also commented on former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s political ambitions, saying he would have to wait until 2031 to contest for the presidency.

He said there is “no space” for Atiku in 2027, adding that he could try again in 2031 when he would be 82 years old.

Wike made the remarks during an inspection of ongoing road projects in Kuje Area Council on Thursday, while also criticising Atiku’s repeated attacks on the current administration and insisting that President Bola Tinubu has performed better than previous leadership.
