Wike Compares Defected PDP Lawmakers to Peter Obi, Predicts Return
Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, has likened the PDP lawmakers who defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) to Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, saying they will also “go back to their houses”.
Wike made this statement while addressing the PDP National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting in Abuja, emphasizing that those who left the PDP for other parties will eventually return.
Wike’s comments come amidst a wave of defections from the PDP to the APC, with several prominent politicians, including some governors and lawmakers, making the switch.
The PDP has been grappling with internal divisions and power struggles, leading to the exit of several key members.
The Minister’s remarks suggest that the PDP is confident that those who left the party will eventually return, and that their departure is only temporary.
Wike’s statement has been seen as a show of strength and resilience by the PDP, despite the challenges it faces.
