A former presidential candidate and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, Dele Momodu, has pointed accusing fingers at that the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, and his group.
According to Momodu, Wike’s group is fueling the crisis within the PDP and are secretly hoping that President Bola Tinubu will withdraw from the 2027 presidential race, allowing them to exploit the PDP for their own presidential ambitions since they lack a viable chance in the All Progressives Congress.
During his appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Momodu claimed that APC members are well aware of Wike’s group playing games. Notably, Wike has pledged to remain in the PDP despite serving as a Minister in the APC-led administration under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Momodu emphasized, “Truth is constant, they have never hidden their mission in the ongoing struggle in the PDP. They have boasted that they have worked for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in 2023 and also said in advance that they’ll work for him in 2027.”
He further alleged that Wike’s group aims to remain in the PDP, utilizing it to further their interests, as they recognize the APC will not provide them with a platform.
He said, “And they’ll remain in PDP and will not leave the party so that they’ll continue to press it down. Everybody knows. Even members of the APC, they know that these guys are playing games.
“They’re hoping that somewhere along the line, Tinubu will not run in 2027 and then they’ll hold PDP down and use it because they know APC will never give them their platform.
“Nobody is going to allow you after destroying your own home you come and destroy their own. Everybody knows.”
