PDP Urges Wike to Back Sandy Onor for 2027 Election

Jungudo Mohammed, the National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), called on Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), to support the party's presidential candidate, Sandy Onor. During an interview with Punch, Mohammed expressed that while the PDP respects Wike's decision to support President Bola Tinubu, they would prefer if he reconsidered and backed Onor.

He noted that Wike's current stance contributes to political tension surrounding the upcoming 2027 election and the administration of President Bola Tinubu. Mohammed acknowledged Wike as a significant political figure and stated that the PDP would welcome any effort to persuade him to change his position.

He emphasized that Wike's lack of support could negatively impact the PDP's chances in the election, although he maintained confidence in the party's ability to overcome challenges and win. The PDP plans to launch a campaign to garner support for Onor across the country.
