PDP Senators Lament Over Treatment From Akpabio, Wike At The Senate

Following the multiple crises that have rocked the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senators elected on its platform have decried the level of injustice they are experiencing in the 10th National Assembly.

While stating that the PDP had no input in picking the Senate Minority Leader, the members highlighted that their plight was made worse by the fact that the party was not there to help them.

Speaking to reporters, a senator from the Northeast said, “The PDP lawmakers are very helpless in this administration of the 10th Assembly.

“Public Accounts committee was given to the Social Democratic Party that has just two members. This has never happened before.”

The lawmakers, who stated that there is no PDP anymore, disclosed that individuals were only fighting for themselves.

He said, “There is no PDP anymore; we can’t collectively do anything anymore because there is no party to back us. Individuals are only fighting for themselves.

“Some have even taken over, calling themselves the ‘new generation lawmakers’; these are those who came from the House of Reps.

“They are so lawless; in fact, they have turned the Senate upside down. Our rules are no longer respected. It is such a sad thing.”

Another PDP senator warned that the main opposition party would most likely not survive its current crisis, saying that the party’s National Working Committee had been so compromised that it appeared to be run by former Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike.

The lawmaker said, “Wike has taken over the PDP. Nobody will fight for us. We are now being treated anyhow by Akpabio and his men.

“No PDP lawmaker will like to talk to you so as not to be used as a scapegoat. Our minority leader is subservient to the majority; we don’t have a party to fight for us.

“As it is now, we are like sheep without a shepherd.”
