Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has asserted that the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), lacks a robust structure necessary to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the upcoming 2027 elections.
Wike made this statement during a live media engagement in Abuja on Friday.
As opposition leaders across the nation ramp up efforts to create a united front against the APC, differing interests among key stakeholders have continued to hinder the advancement of coalition discussions.
During the media session, Wike remarked: “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.”
