Recall that the party had, in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba in Abuja on Friday announced the suspension of Senator Chimaroke Nnamani (Enugu State) and Chief Chris Ogbu (Imo State) with effect from January 20, 2023, over allegations of anti-party activities.
In a direct response to the party’s decision, Wike said the sanction of members “will not help you in any way”.
“Suspending people will not help you in any way. The battle line has been fully drawn.
“We will do everything legally possible to challenge any decision that we know is illegal.
“Don’t think you can threaten people by saying you’re suspended…rubbish, rubbish.
“We are above that level that you think you can threaten, intimate anybody.
“We believe in the rule of law. We believe our party should respect its constitution.
“When a man says you will not sleep, he too will not sleep. We are waiting for you”, Wike added.
