A Rival's Endorsement: Timothy Osadolor Sizes Up Nyesom Wike's Claims on 2027 Campaign
"PDP Leader Affirms: Wike Loses All Authority--No More Influence"
Nigeria's political landscape is buzzing with chatter following the comments of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, who expressed his readiness to support President Bola Tinubu's potential bid for the 2027 election. But, not everyone's buying it.
According to reports from our website, Wike, during a heated media chat in Abuja on Monday, dropped a bombshell, calling himself a key player in getting Tinubu re-elected in 2027.
However, amidst this bold declaration, the Peoples Democratic Party's (PDP) Deputy National Youth Leader, Timothy Osadolor, isn't convinced. In an interview with PUNCH, he spoke candidly about Wike's place within the party.
Osadolor asserted that Wike no longer wields the power he once did within the PDP. He encouraged Nigerians and fellow party members to take the FCT minister's words with a grain of salt.
Osadolor expressed his confidence that Tinubu would fall short in the 2027 election, adding that the people have made it clear that his government will be a one-term affair.
He remarked, "Look, Wike was once a force within the PDP. But that's not the case anymore. His alleged support for Tinubu won't change the outcome in 2027. The people have already spoken. And it's not in Tinubu's favor."
Osadolor warned against being swayed by sensational speeches or media chats, stating that the real focus should be on reclaiming the mandate from the current administration in 2027. He encouraged Nigerians to tune out distractions like these, stressing that the PDP is merely the vehicle for the people's message.
The ongoing power struggle within the PDP is far from over. Wike's bold endorsement of Tinubu has only added fuel to the fire, with party leaders like Chief Olabode George speaking out against Wike's decision.
The internal conflicts and power plays are complex, making it difficult to predict Wike's true influence on the 2027 elections. One thing is certain, though - the race to the presidency in 2027 is heating up, and every endorsement and stance matters.
