Turaki's PDP Faction Rejects Wike's Support for Tinubu
A faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led by Kabiru Turaki has publicly rejected any support for President Bola Tinubu's re-election in 2027. This stance comes in response to Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, who reportedly urged PDP candidates to support Tinubu.
The faction's Interim National Working Committee, through National Publicity Secretary Ini Ememobong, stated that Wike's call does not represent genuine PDP members. They emphasized that true opposition should not support the All Progressives Congress (APC) but rather provide an alternative to the current government.
The faction condemned any alliance with the APC, asserting that opposition parties should unite among themselves instead. They characterized Wike's message as aimed at those who are not true members of the PDP but are instead aligned with the governing party.
