The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has openly declared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is unprepared for the 2027 general elections.
Wike made this statement during a live media parley held in Abuja on Friday, expressing his concerns over the party’s weak political foundation.
He stressed that the PDP lacks the formidable structure needed to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the next election cycle.
His comment comes amid growing efforts by opposition leaders to build a united front against the APC. However, internal disagreements and conflicting interests have continued to stall the coalition plans.
Speaking candidly, Wike compared the PDP’s current state to a student pretending to study without real commitment. “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,” he said.
Wike also emphasized that internal power struggles within the party are doing more harm than good, warning that such disputes could prevent the PDP from mounting a serious challenge in 2027.
