Segun Sowunmi, a chieftain in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), says Bola Tinubu is the cause of the crisis in the opposition party.
Sowunmi disclosed this on Wednesday when he featured on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
The former Ogun PDP governorship candidate said the appointment of Nyesom Wike as federal capital territory (FCT) minister by Tinubu is causing problems within the party.
He criticised the president for bringing Wike, a PDP member, into his cabinet without consulting the party.
Sowunmi noted Wike’s appointment into Tinubu’s cabinet deepened the leadership crisis within the opposition party.“
People will like to say Wike is the cause of the PDP’s problem, but I would rather say it is Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” Sowunmi said.

“He has no business appointing our member into his cabinet without talking to us. He had no business taking Nyesom Wike from our party and appointing him.”
Sowunmi noted that former President Olusegun Obasanjo consulted with opposition parties when forming a government of national unity.
“When Obasanjo wanted to form a government of national unity, he ran to the party, but what did he (Tinubu) do? He took one of us and put him in a strategic position, and suddenly, the whole thing is complicated,” he said.
“If he wants our party to be okay, he should sack Wike and return him to PDP, but of course, he is not going to do that.”
