PDP Long Dead – Wike
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has declared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is “long dead,” blaming its collapse on arrogance, impunity, and poor leadership. During his monthly media chat in Abuja, Wike said the party’s disintegration was inevitable as his earlier warnings about internal disorder were ignored. He criticised PDP governors for presiding over the party’s downfall and maintained that their refusal to unite or respect internal democracy destroyed the opposition’s credibility.
Wike dismissed claims that President Bola Tinubu had stopped his media engagements, describing such reports as false. He also denied rumours about his health, insisting he had never been flown abroad for treatment.
