The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has revealed why he believes the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is unprepared for the 2027 general elections, blaming the party’s weak internal structure and ongoing power tussles.
Speaking during a live media parley in Abuja on Friday, the former Rivers State governor said the opposition party lacks the cohesion and strategy needed to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the next election cycle.

“The PDP is not ready for the 2027 election. It is very obvious,” Wike stated. “For instance, I have an examination and I am going to class to read. Indeed, am I reading? Am I studying?
“You don’t need to deceive anybody that you are reading. You are only trying to read so that people will see that you have carried your bag to class.”
He likened the PDP’s current state to students pretending to prepare for an exam without putting in real effort.
“That is the situation of the PDP. So, they cannot say for sure that they are ready for 2027. Power struggle cannot help the party,” he added.
