Okoh
The National Youth Council of Nigeria, NYCN, Enugu State Chapter, has discountenanced the disparaging manner the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, made uncomplimentary comments against the Governor of Enugu State, Dr. Peter Ndubisi Mbah.
The Chairman of NYCN, Enugu State Chapter, Comrade Chukwuebuka Okoh, made this known on Friday in a press statement.
Okoh stated that Wike’s recent remarks, which suggested an intent to disrupt the administration of PDP governors who do not align with his position, were unnecessary and dangerous to the unity of the party.
Such utterances only serve to weaken the party’s internal structure and distract from the real issues of governance and development, according to Okoh. The youth leader emphasized that Governor Mbah has been instrumental to advancing the growth and stability of Enugu State, ensuring that leadership remains focused on meaningful progress.
He noted that attempts to discredit Mbah’s efforts through inflammatory statements are not only unfair but also detrimental to the PDP’s cohesion, especially in the South-East region.
He further called on Wike to exercise restraint and embrace a more diplomatic approach in addressing party issues, adding that as a former governor and a serving minister, Wike carries an obligation to promote harmony within the PDP rather than stir unnecessary conflicts that could derail the party’s objectives.
Reaffirming their support for Governor Mbah, the Enugu youth body urged PDP stakeholders to focus on strengthening the party’s structure instead of engaging in divisive politics. They maintained that unity remains the party’s strongest asset and should be protected at all costs.
