Why Wike Has No Courage To Physically Defect To APC”

Dele Momodu, Celebrity Journalist-turned Politician has said it will be no surprise to him if his Party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, announces that it is not interested in contesting in the 2027 Presidential Election.

Momodu also disclosed why Nyesom Wike, Minister for the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, has not physically defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

Spiritually, Momodu explained, Wike is in the APC. However, he has not physically moved because of the fate he knows awaits him there.

Momodu, who spoke in an interview with Arise Television, disclosed that Wike does not have the courage to defect to the ruling Party. His courage fails him to move because the Minister knows he will not exert the kind of influence he exerts in the PDP in the APC. He will not have the power to ride- rough-shod anybody in the APC. So, said Momodu, Wike prefers to stay put in the PDP where he uses his power and influence to destabilise the main opposition party.

Momodu: “When I say moved, I am not talking about physically, but may be spiritually, he is with the APC today. However, he is yet to find the courage to physically move to the APC because he knows he would not be able to wield the kind of power he wielded in PDP.

Right now, where his friends are, he is empowering them and encouraging them to keep PDP under water.

Momodu traced the crisis in the Party to when Wike lost both the PDP’s Presidential  ticket and  Vice Presidential ticket to Atiku Abubakar and Dr Ifeanyi Okowa respectively. Both men eventually lost the offices to Senators Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima.

On the chances of the Party clinching the Presidential ticket in 2027, Momodu didn’t think see the possibility.

He said the PDP has so been decimated by the Wike factor and external forces, that he would not be surprised if the Party declines to participate in the 2027 Presidential election.

Momodu: “If you have a government that is wielding all its state power against the opposition, what will you do? Wike would not be that powerful if he he did not have the backing of the ruling government. Even Tinubu knows that. The tragedy of it for me is that I have never envisaged a day when Nigeria will come under a civilian administration that will make it very difficult for opposition to thrive.”

To crown it all, he said, he does not see the PDP as a party ready to contest the 2027 Presidential election, especially, with the type of National Working Committee, NWC, it presently has,  which he criticised strongly.

Momodu: “I’m not worried about members that are adopted. That would be the decision of the members of the Party if the Party survives till then. But from what I am seeing right now, I don’t think they are ready, especially, our NWC. They are not ready. I won’t be surprised if they announce that they are not interested in contesting the Presidency in 2027.”
