Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike on Thursday said it would be difficult for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to win the presidential election in 2027.
Wike explained that PDP is struggling with internal problems, hence it would be difficult for the party to win the presidential election.
He spoke during his monthly media chat in Abuja.
The minister said, “To Nigerians now, the only way democracy is active is when ADC and NDC participate in the election, if not there will be no democracy?
“Democracy in Nigeria is now defined as the participation of Peter Obi and Atiku, that’s the only time we have democracy?
“That’s the level we’ve taken ourselves to, defining democracy by the participation of Atiku and Peter Obi. If they don’t participate no Northern Nigerian can run in those positions, democracy is only when Atiku and Obi contest, that’s when we are talking about opposition.
“I have told you that PDP has a problem, now having that problem is not easy to put yourself back to winning a presidential election, it’s not an easy task.
“We are not even talking about the ordinary Ward election, it’s difficult and what is more paramount to us now is building a party, see what you can do at the state level, put your pieces together and prepare.
“You are talking about the PDP, was I not the one that was accused of being an agent of the APC? Those accusing me where are they?”
