PDP Faction Rejects Wike's Support for Tinubu's Re-election
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) faction under Kabiru Tanimu Turaki has publicly rejected the call from Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, for party members to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's re-election in 2027. Comrade Ini Ememobong, the National Publicity Secretary of the Interim National Working Committee of the PDP, stated that Wike's suggestion is not aimed at genuine PDP members but rather at those who are not truly committed to the opposition.
The faction emphasized that the role of the opposition is to provide an alternative to the current government rather than support it. They criticized the idea of a coalition with the governing party, labeling it a threat to electoral democracy.
The faction urged true PDP members to remain loyal as they await a judgment from the Court of Appeal regarding their party's leadership. They warned Nigerians against political collaborations that could undermine democracy and called for a change in the upcoming elections.
