The camp of Atiku Abubakar, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has fired back at Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, over his prediction regarding the 2027 election.

Atiku’s special assistant on media, Abdul Rasheeth, described Wike as “a joker” who has consistently worked against Atiku’s interests.

Rasheeth pointed out that Wike had attempted to stop Atiku in 2019 and contested against him in 2023, only to lose. Now, Wike is claiming he will stop Atiku again in 2027. “The 40-year whisky is a joker,” Rasheeth said.

Wike had earlier stated that Atiku would not secure the PDP ticket in 2027, citing the party’s need for fresh leadership. He argued that Nigerians had rejected Atiku’s economic blueprint in 2023 and that relying on one person for too long was unhealthy.

In a live media parley in his office in Abuja on Wednesday, Wike said, “Did he not present it before Nigerians? Did Nigerians choose him? He is lobbying for another chance, but the chance will not be there. In which party? How can we rely on one man for so many years?

“Look at America. I’m sure you all did not support Trump, saying he is this, he is a racist, he is that. We cried, but Americans thought differently, made a decision for the good of their own country.

“You presented your blueprint in 2023; Nigerians heard you clearly and said thank you, but it will not work. We will not support you. Criticism does not mean the opposition is working.

“Trump was not in government, yet he got to work and told the Republicans, ‘Listen, what do we do? We have to be serious.’ You can’t sideline people and say you will fight someone just because you feel he is too influential.”

DomPerignon:
Seyi Makinde and Bala Mohammed is the combo to watch out for.

Both are G7 alligned to Wike.

Atiku should stop wasting his time in PDP and join his Agulu girlfriend to look for another party to give them joint automatic ticket as President and VP nominees.

Bayelsa PDP is alligned to Makinde because Makinde is married to the daughter of former Governor Dickerson.

Rivers remains Wike.

PDP is about dead in Edo for a very long time and the few remaining there will follow the G7.

Rivers us still PDP and strongly under Wike. If in doubt, why you think the whole PDP rivers is at loggerheads with the betrayer Fubara.

Akwa Ibom is under Akpabio and the PDP there will do what Akpabio wants.

So the money bag states that fund the PDP are not going to support Atiku .

Atiku should start searching for another party before it's too late.

Maybe he should join LP.

Atiku is a good man, and a worthy opponent. Wike shouldnt be taking shots at him.

Stop smoking overnight skunk.

DomPerignon:
Atiku is going to LP.

Obi should find another party because Obi can't win Atiku in LP and Atiku won't nominate him as his running mate again.
