EXCLUSIVE: Here Are List of Prominent PDP Members Appointed by President Bola Tinubu
Starting with the appointment of Nysome Wike, a former Rivers state governor, as the FCT, President Tinubu has appointed some key members of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in his government.
Here is a list of some of them:
Nyesom Wike – FCT minister
Wike, who refused to support the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in the 2023 elections due to an internal crisis in the party, later admitted that he worked for Tinubu.
He was eventually rewarded with a ministerial appointment.
Chiedu Ebie – NDDC board chairman
President Tinubu recently announced the appointment of the new board of the board and management of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
The new chairman of the board, Chiedu Ebie, was a card-carrying member of the PDP at the time his appointment was announced, according to PM News.
Ebie’s appointment was reportedly facilitated by former Governor James Ibori, who is said to be a close friend of President Tinubu.
Monday Igbuya, Delta rep, NDDC board
The Delta state representative in the NDDC board, Monday Igbuya, is also reported to be a PDP member. Ibori also allegedly facilitated the appointment.
Akinjo, a former member of the House of Representatives and PDP member, reportedly lost his third term bid to an APC candidate in the last election.
Boma Iyaye, NDDC
President Tinubu appointed Boma Iyaye, a PDP member in Rivers state, as the Executive Director for Finance and admin of the NDDC. Bomo is an accountant and former Commissioner of Sports under ex-Governor Wike, the current FCT Minister.
Meanwhile, It was earlier reported that the FCT minister Wike taunted his party, the PDP. The politician who spoke on Wednesday, August 30, exclusively on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme, dared the leadership of his party, the PDP, to suspend or discipline him.
