2027: Atiku has no chance in PDP, How can we use one man for how many years? – Wike says
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, cast doubt on former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s chances of securing the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) ticket for the 2027 presidential election. During a live media session in Abuja, Wike argued that Nigerians would not allow Atiku to return as the party’s candidate, citing a history of rejections by voters.
Wike pointed out that Atiku has repeatedly shared his plans with the public, only to face consistent defeats. This criticism follows Atiku’s recent comments about the current administration; he asserted that had he won the 2023 election, he would have taken a different approach than President Bola Tinubu, sparing Nigerians from the current hardships.
He said; “Did he (Atiku) not present it (blueprint) before Nigerians? Did Nigerians choose him? He is lobbying for another chance. The chance will not be there. In which party? How can we use one man for how many years?
“Look at America, I am sure you all did not support Trump saying he is this, he is a racist, he is that, we are crying, Americans were thinking about something else, thinking for the good of their own country made a decision.
“You presented your blueprint in 2023, Nigerians heard you clear and said thank you, but it will not work, we will not support you. Criticisms do not mean opposition is working”.
