- Dele Momodu, a PDP member, claims that Nyesom Wike and his allies are pursuing a specific agenda within President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
- Wike has pledged to remain with the PDP despite serving as a minister in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) government.
- Momodu claimed that Wike and his group are responsible for the ongoing PDP crisis during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
Dele Momodu, a notable figure within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has claimed that Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), along with his associates, is advancing a particular agenda within the administration of President Bola Tinubu.
Note that Wike has expressed his intention to remain affiliated with the PDP, even while serving as a minister in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) government.
In a recent appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Momodu argued that Wike and his faction are the root cause of the current turmoil within the PDP.
The seasoned journalist indicated that Wike’s group is anticipating that Tinubu will step back from the 2027 presidential election, thereby enabling the former Governor of Rivers State to utilize the PDP for his own presidential aspirations, as they perceive limited opportunities within the APC.
He further remarked that the objectives of this group are widely recognized, asserting that members of the APC are aware that Wike’s faction is engaging in strategic maneuvering.
He said, “Truth is constant, they have never hidden their mission in the ongoing struggle in the PDP. They have boasted that they have worked for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in 2023 and also said in advance that they’ll work for him in 2027.
“And they’ll remain in PDP and will not leave the party so that they’ll continue to press it down. Everybody knows. Even members of the APC, they know that these guys are playing games.
“They’re hoping that somewhere along the line, Tinubu will not run in 2027 and then they’ll hold PDP down and use it because they know APC will never give them their platform.
“Nobody is going to allow you after destroying your own home you come and destroy their own. Everybody knows.”
