2027: PDP Not Ready To Challenge APC, Says FCT Minister Wike

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lacks the structure and preparedness to pose a serious challenge to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections.

Speaking during a live media parley in Abuja on Friday, April 18, 2025, Wike dismissed the notion that the PDP is actively positioning itself to reclaim power, despite opposition efforts to form a united front.

“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,” Wike said.

He added, “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.”

Efforts by opposition leaders across the country to build a coalition against the APC have been hindered by conflicting interests among major stakeholders.
