The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has openly expressed concerns about the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) readiness for the 2027 elections.
According to Wike, the PDP currently lacks a robust structure capable of challenging the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the upcoming polls.
He made this remark during a live media briefing in Abuja on Friday.
Meanwhile, reports indicate that opposition leaders nationwide are working to form a unified front against the APC. However, progress in coalition talks has been hindered by conflicting interests among key stakeholders.
Speaking during the media parley, 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.”
