The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has urged former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to abandon any hopes of securing the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential ticket for the 2027 election.
Wike emphasized that the party’s ticket will not be “wasted” on individuals he described as “serial betrayers” facing the fallout from their past actions within the PDP.
During a live media briefing in Abuja on Wednesday, Wike firmly stated that Atiku, the PDP’s 2023 presidential candidate, would not be granted another chance in 2027.
Recall that Atiku, in response to the interview by Wike, had mocked the Minister over his failure to defeat him in the PDP’s 2022 primary election.
Atiku, responding through his media aide, Phrank Shaibu, pointed to his prior successes over Wike in securing the PDP’s presidential candidacy in 2023 and former Governor Aminu Tambuwal’s defeat in 2019
