The committee, led by a former Foreign Affairs Minister, Tom Ikimi, was set up to address and manage all disciplinary matters.
Wike, a former governor of Rivers State, and others were reportedly summoned by the party to appear before the panel following a series of petitions against them bordering on allegations of anti-party activities and sabotage during the 2023 elections.
Five former governors of the PDP, led by Wike, allegedly worked against the party and its Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, during the 2023 election.
Wike, Seyi Makinde -Oyo State, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi -Enugu State, Samuel Ortom -Benue State, and Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State fell out with Atiku over the refusal of the former National Chairman of the party, Iyorchia Ayu, to relinquish his position to a southerner.
The PDP Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Ibrahim Abdullahi, told reporters that Wike, alongside former members of the G-5, and others who were accused of anti-party activities were being summoned to face the panel.
The PDP chieftain insisted the probe of Wike and the others would not cause division in the party but rather instill discipline among members and prevent future reoccurrence of anti-party activity.
Meanwhile, a senior member of the PDP NWC, who requested anonymity due to lack of authorisation to comment, confirmed that the NWC had submitted the report on anti-party activities of Wike and others to the Ikimi’s committee.
The source, however, said the panel had yet to invite Wike and others for the probe.
A member of the National Executive Committee, Timothy Osadolor, confirmed that the call for Wike’s suspension was strong.
Osadolor, the Deputy National Youth leader of the PDP said members of the party were considering penalties such as suspension and expulsion for those involved in anti-party activities during the last general elections.
