The Democratic credentials of Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), have been questioned by publisher and politician Chief Dele Momodu.
Because he wants to decide the zoning of the PDP’s 2027 presidential ticket and make sure his wishes are carried out, Momodu accused Wike of stirring up trouble inside the party.
The former PDP presidential candidate also charged that Wike was acting like an elder in Nigerian politics when, in reality, he had nothing to do with the democratic movements of June 12.
That one individual, who ought to be occupied in Abuja, is deciding where the PDP presidential ticket should go in 2027 sounds absurd. Wike is essentially repeating his actions from Rivers State, and it is obvious that the high brass supports him in this endeavor.

Where was Wike at the conflict on June 12? He was unknown back then. But now, he talks like he’s Nigeria’s founding father,” Momodu stated in an interview with Channels Television on Wednesday.
Wike Is to Blame for the Rivers Crisis
Chief Momodu also charged the FCT Minister with trying to maintain power in Rivers State, which led to a political crisis in the oil-rich state, according to Naija News.
“One man planned and exacerbated a massive crisis of monumental proportions.” A state of emergency had to be established just because he refused to leave quietly. “It’s unprecedented in Nigerian history,” he said.
Wike Is Putting Up A Coup
Momodu further claimed that Wike’s efforts are dividing the PDP and staging a coup against it.
His current actions amount to a coup against the party that helped shape who he is now. “He lacks the ethical authority to control the PDP’s course,” the publisher said.
