The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lacks the capacity to win the 2027 presidential election. Wike said, “I have always said that the PDP can’t win the presidential election now. He maintained that winning a presidential election required proper organisation, nationwide structures and long-term preparation rather than merely presenting a candidate. I don’t like people who think that because it’s just an election, you must win,” he stated. Wike said the PDP should use the forthcoming election to strengthen its presence at the state and legislative levels while working towards becoming a stronger national opposition.
