The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has said that discussions about Peter Obi’s possible return to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) are detrimental to the party.
Some PDP chieftains are said to be making moves to woo the former Governor of Anambra State to rejoin the party ahead of the 2027 presidential election with a view to making him the party’s presidential candidate.
In separate interviews, two PDP leaders, the Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, and Senate Minority Leader, Senator Abba Moro, affirmed that the party is wooing Obi to rejoin the PDP.
However, speaking during a media chat on Monday, Wike dismissed the talks about Obi’s return, saying the ex-governor’s return to the PDP is dangerous and hypocritical.
‘’Bringing Obi to where? You want to k!ll the party the more? Some of these people don’t have character. Obi that was abusing the party? That the party is rotten…so the party is good for you to come and run? These people’s ambition can even make you to go to satan’s house.
If you want to destroy this party, dare to bring Peter Obi. Let Peter Obi come….There is nowhere he wouldn’t go because of ambition. Can’t we be principled? Because we are looking for President’’ he said
