The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has dismissed former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s chances of securing the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ticket for the 2027 general elections, asserting it is unlikely to happen.
During a live media session on Wednesday evening in Abuja, Wike noted that Atiku has repeatedly shared his vision with Nigerians, who, in turn, have consistently rejected him.
Naija News reports that Atiku, who ran as the PDP’s presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, recently claimed that if he had won, his leadership approach would differ from President Bola Tinubu’s, and Nigerians would not be experiencing the current level of hardship.
Wike remarked, “Didn’t he (Atiku) present his blueprint to Nigerians? And did they choose him? Now he’s seeking another chance, but that opportunity won’t come. In which party? How can we rely on the same person for so many years?”
Referring to the American political landscape, Wike added, “Look at America—many opposed Trump, citing his controversial views, yet Americans made their decision based on what they believed was best for their country.”
He concluded, “In 2023, Nigerians listened to Atiku’s proposals and decided it wasn’t the right fit. Criticisms alone don’t signify that the opposition is truly resonating with the people.”
