Wike Warns Defecting PDP Governors to Reclaim Mandate
Nyesom Wike, serving as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, issued a strong warning to governors who have defected from the People's Democratic Party (PDP), stating that the party intends to reclaim its mandate. Speaking at the PDP's 2026 national convention in Abuja, Wike expressed his firm loyalty to the party and criticized the consequences of defection.
He asserted that the PDP's structure remains robust enough to challenge those who abandon the party that brought them to power. Wike highlighted the lack of courage among political leaders who cannot withstand internal disagreements and emphasized the importance of discipline and unity within the PDP.
His remarks come amid rising tensions and leadership disputes within the party, which have led to speculation about further defections. Wike, a prominent figure in the PDP, reaffirmed the party's commitment to shaping its future and congratulated the delegates at the convention.
