PDP Denies Pushing Nyesom Wike to Run Against Tinubu in 2027 Election
The People's Democratic Party (PDP) has dismissed rumors of pushing Nyesom Wike to contest against Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential race as false. Wike's aide, Lere Olayinka, clarified that Wike remains loyal to Tinubu until 2031.
The denial came after reports circulated online about a meeting held to promote Wike's candidacy. The meeting, involving PDP stakeholders from southern Nigeria, aimed to discuss party matters and was not related to Wike's presidential ambitions.
Key figures present at the meeting included state party chairmen and other notable party members.
