The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has stated that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has no option but to leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). According to Wike, Atiku’s departure is a result of his own actions, as he would not be allowed to undermine the party.
In an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Wike emphasized that Atiku has never been a dedicated member of the PDP. He pointed out that Atiku has a history of leaving and rejoining the party, suggesting that his commitment is questionable. Wike’s comments come amidst reports of Atiku’s potential departure from the PDP, which has sparked speculation about his future in politics.
Wike also referenced the comments made by Governor Diri, who stated that Atiku has left the PDP. Wike expressed his satisfaction with this development, implying that Atiku’s departure is a positive step for the party. He also mentioned that he and other party leaders, including Governor Makinde, have been working to prevent the destruction of the PDP.
The PDP has faced internal conflicts and power struggles in recent years, which have led to speculation about the party’s future. Atiku’s potential departure is seen as a significant development, as he has been a prominent figure in the party. Wike’s comments suggest that the party is taking steps to assert its independence and prevent external influences from undermining its stability.
The situation is being closely watched by political observers, who are eager to see how the PDP will navigate this challenging period. As the party moves forward, it is likely that there will be further developments and announcements about its leadership and direction. For now, Wike’s comments have added to the ongoing discussion about the future of the PDP and the role of its key figures.
