A former presidential candidate and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dele Momodu, has exposed Nyesom Wike’s true intentions.

According to Momodu, Wike and his group are masterminding the crisis within the PDP, hoping to capitalize on President Bola Tinubu’s potential withdrawal from the 2027 presidential race.

Momodu, speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, on Monday evening, alleged that Wike’s camp has openly boasted about working for Tinubu in 2023 and plans to do so again in 2027. Their ultimate goal, Momodu claims, is to maintain control of the PDP, knowing they have no chance of securing the All Progressives Congress (APC) platform.

Momodu stated, “They’re hoping that somewhere along the line, Tinubu will not run in 2027 and then they’ll hold PDP down and use it because they know APC will never give them their platform. Nobody is going to allow you after destroying your own home to come and destroy their own. Everybody knows.”

Wike, currently serving as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory under the APC-led administration, had vowed to remain in the PDP.
