Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has said that the main opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is not ready for the 2027 presidential election, stressing that it does not have a formidable structure to defeat the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2027.
Wike also declared that he will not support PDP as the party leaders haven’t united and put their house in order for elections.
The Minister spoke in Abuja on Friday during media parley.
He said that power struggle rocking the leadership won’t let the party muster any preparation necessary to unseat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his APC.
The minister 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.”
