Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, on Friday, issued a stern warning to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), alleging that ongoing disunity and insincerity among party leaders may once again cost them victory in the next general elections.
Wike, who spoke during a media interaction in Abuja, criticized former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and the PDP Governors Forum over what he described as internal deceit and lack of commitment to the party’s stability and future.
Atiku had recently initiated talks to form a coalition of opposition parties aimed at challenging the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 elections.
However, his effort met resistance from within the PDP, including from Governor Seyi Makinde, who stated that the governors are not aligned with the coalition plans.
Wike did not mince words while addressing the matter. He accused the party’s leadership of repeating the same missteps that led to their defeat in 2023.
He said: “Those who said they want a coalition are not truthful to themselves, and those in the party are not useful; it’s just a matter of interest.”
The former Rivers State governor further emphasized that the Governors Forum has no constitutional authority within the PDP and criticized its influence over the party’s affairs.
He cautioned that unless internal reforms are prioritized and impunity is addressed, the PDP risks alienating its base and facing another loss at the polls in 2027. His remarks have stirred fresh debate about the party’s direction and unity heading into the next election cycle.
