US EditionNigeria: Bringing Peter Obi Back to PDP Will Destroy the Party
Nyesom Wike warns that re-admitting Peter Obi could undermine party unity and credibility, emphasizing the need for equity and power rotation to restore the Peoples Democratic Party's relevance.
- On September 1, 2025, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike warned reintegrating Peter Obi, former Labour Party presidential candidate, would risk the Peoples Democratic Party's destruction, calling the talks dangerous and hypocritical.
- Wike argued the party's earlier decision to concentrate power in the North was a fatal error that weakened the Peoples Democratic Party, insisting the presidency must rotate to the South to restore equity and justice.
- Wike used pointed language, saying, `To what? Obi that was abusing the party, saying it is rotten-- so the party is now good enough for him? Ambition can make people even go to Satan's house.` He also warned, `If you want to destroy this party, dare it — bring Obi.`
- Wike cautioned that re-admitting Peter Obi would erode the Peoples Democratic Party's credibility and warned it would 'pay' for past arrogance that caused its 2023 general elections defeat.
- Certain PDP leaders have been wooing Obi, including Governor Bala Mohammed and Senator Abba Moro, as Wike dismissed those moves while critics accuse him of double politics amid 2027 realignments.
