‘Everybody knows’ Wike’s role in Tinubu’s Government’ – Dele Momodu

Dele Momodu, a prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has asserted that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, and his allies are pursuing a specific agenda within President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

Gistreel notes that Wike has pledged to remain with the PDP despite serving as a minister in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) government.

During an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Momodu contended that Wike and his group are responsible for the ongoing crisis within the PDP.

The veteran journalist suggested that Wike’s faction hopes Tinubu will withdraw from the 2027 presidential race, allowing the former Rivers Governor to leverage the PDP for his own presidential bid, as they believe they have little chance within the APC.

He also said that everyone knows about the group’s mission, adding that the APC members know that Wike’s group are playing games.

He said, “Truth is constant, they have never hidden their mission in the ongoing struggle in the PDP. They have boasted that they have worked for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in 2023 and also said in advance that they’ll work for him in 2027.

“And they’ll remain in PDP and will not leave the party so that they’ll continue to press it down. Everybody knows. Even members of the APC, they know that these guys are playing games.

“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 you come and destroy their own. Everybody knows.”
