PDP Not Ready For 2027- Wike
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is not ready for the 2027 election.
Wike commented on Friday during a live media interview in Abuja.
He said the party has been torn apart by a crisis as such that could help its cause.
The PDP have been divided over who leads the party into the next election, with the interim leadership rejecting a national convention to produce new leadership.
Wike, who is a member of the PDP but is serving in the government of the All Progressives Congress, has been blamed for the leadership crisis, with reports that the majority of the national executive members are his political associates.
While not commenting on that on Friday, he curiously stressed the importance of party unity and early preparation as crucial to winning an election.
Wike said, “The PDP is not ready for the 2027 election. It is very obvious. For instance, I have an examination, and I am going to class to read. Indeed, am I reading? Am I studying?
“You don’t need to deceive anybody that you are reading. You are only trying to read so that people will see that you have carried your bag to class.
“That is the situation of the PDP. So, they cannot say for sure that they are ready for 2027. Power struggle cannot help the party.”
