Nyesom Wike, the former governor of Rivers State, is allegedly no longer a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), according to Timothy Osadolor, a member of the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC).
He supported this claim by pointing to Wike’s actions before and during the national elections in 2023.
Osadolor suggested that the PDP leadership has decided to keep Wike away from party matters during a phone call with Punch.

He voiced alarm over Wike’s recent public appearances, making references to his allegiance to the All Progressives Congress (APC), and criticized Wike for his relentless need for limelight despite the potential harm to his standing as an opposition leader.
Osadolor said, “The PDP has ignored Wike because the man is no longer himself. There are more ways to deal with people apart from sanctioning them.
“You can keep someone in isolation. He (Wike) can boast that he is the one that stayed away but is it not better to stay away than come to party activities and nobody wants to associate with you? He has been given a cold treatment because he went to court to procure a judgment that says he cannot be suspended but there is no judgment that says he cannot be avoided.
“That is what the PDP has been doing to him and technically, if Wike wants to say the truth, he will tell you that he is no longer a member of the PDP. No PDP leader or member behaves the way he does.”

Osadolor’s assertion is false, according to Chris Finebone, a former Rivers State commissioner for information and communications and ardent PDP supporter. Finebone claims that Wike is still a valid PDP member.
Finebone characterized Osadolor’s statements as “wishful thinking” and asserted that Osadolor is not authorized to speak on behalf of the party.
Finebone affirmed, “His Excellency, the former Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, is 110 per cent a member of PDP and nothing has changed. And nothing can change it.”
He denied the claim that Wike had ties to Tinubu, calling it petty and unfounded.
