PDP to Launch Campaign Council Amid Wike's APC Support
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) announced plans to unveil its presidential campaign council ahead of the January 16 election. Despite Nyesom Wike, the party's national leader and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, supporting the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Tinubu's re-election, the PDP remains committed to contesting the election.
Jungudo Haruna Mohammed, the PDP’s National Publicity Secretary, stated that the party is compiling names for its campaign council and preparing for the presidential campaign. He emphasized that Wike's support for Tinubu should not be seen as the party's stance, noting that Wike is fulfilling his role as an appointee of President Tinubu.
Wike's inclusion in Tinubu's campaign council as a coordinator for Rivers State and the FCT has raised concerns about the PDP's electoral ambitions, but Mohammed reassured that the PDP is mobilizing support for its presidential candidate, Senator Sandy Ojang Onor.
