Nyesom Wike Criticizes Atiku, Others Over 2027 Coalition Discussion

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and PDP chieftain, Nyesom Wike, has criticized former PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, over coalition talks ahead of the 2027 general elections. Wike accused those seeking a coalition of being driven by selfish interests, particularly the ambition to become president.

Wike also slammed PDP governors for attempting to direct the affairs of the opposition party, describing them as insincere. He noted that the Governors’ Forum is only a pressure group, not an organ of the party, and therefore lacks the power to make public decisions.

Furthermore, Wike emphasized that the National Secretary of the party can only be removed through a National Convention, not by appointment. He stressed that the position is elective, and any decision on who occupies it must be made through a democratic process.
