Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Nyesom Wike, has said that he is not tearing the party apart, but building it.
Wike stated this while speaking to newsmen in Abuja today, Monday, May 12.
Asked if he is still in the PDP since he has been associating with the All Progressive Congress (APC), works for the APC government, and has been supporting some defections from the PDP to the APC, Wike responded thus: ‘’Justice must be done, it was injustice… I never left the party. I came out to say this injustice will not stand, I will not support it.”
On the likelihood that the PDP would zone the 2027 presidential ticket to the north, Wike replied:
“PDP can’t send presidency to the North! I have told them! Selfishness can kill a system. Take for example. If Mr President runs and wins in 2027. By 2031, APC will send their presidential ticket to the North. PDP will do what then? Then you come back again and say since APC has brought it to the North, let’s keep it in the North. What kind of smartness is that?”
It would be recalled that Wike worked against the PDP and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in the 2023 general election. According to him, the party failed in its agreement to zone the Presidential ticket to the South while the party’s National chairman will be zoned to the North.
