The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has today hinted that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, may not make it in 2027 due to bad leadership.
Stating, that the party’s leadership lacks focus, commitment, and doesn’t know what to do.
Speaking during his end-of -the-year media parley, the Minister stated that with the right leadership, PDP should start looking towards 2031.
He said, “We have a leadership that is not focused, a leadership that does not know what to do, a leadership that does not consider suggestions.
“If the leadership is committed, I will come back to say look we have made a mistake why is it that things are happening this way now? What can we do to correct it?
“It’s not just about taking over government; we must position ourselves effectively.
“By 2027, it’s likely that we may not make it but are we going to allow the party to die? Can’t we start rebuilding now ahead of 2031?”
The Minister also declared that the former ruling party can bounce back to takeover power if leadership shows commitment.
“There is nothing that is impossible once you are committed, first of all, what is happening to my party is what I have predicted before. I have warned that if things are not done the right way this is where we are going to find outselves. No Nigerian can say they didn’t hear me. I have stated it numerous times.
“Leadership is crucial in everything we do, leadership in associations and in government is essential.
“If leaders do not make the right decisions, we will face the consequences,” he added.
