Wike Warns PDP Against Bringing Back Peter Obi for 2023 Presidency

Minister Nyesom Wike has cautioned the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against considering the return of former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi for the 2023 presidential ticket, stating it would lead to the party's collapse. Wike emphasized that bringing Obi back would be detrimental to the party's integrity and principles.

His comments come after the PDP's National Executive Committee resolved to zone the 2023 presidential ticket to the South. Wike's opposition to Obi's potential return highlights the internal dynamics and power struggles within the party as it navigates its presidential candidate selection process.

The warning underscores the high stakes and tensions surrounding the upcoming elections.
