FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has come out to dismiss talks about a potential Peter Obi return to the PDP.
He recently described Obi’s return as dangerous and hypocritical, and Nigerians have been reacting.
Speaking during a media chat on Monday, he revealed that bringing Obi back will completely destroy the political party.
According to him, it would be shocking if the Labour party member is willing to rejoin the party he recently referred to as rotten.
He concluded by saying that the former governor’s return would further erode the PDP’s credibility and destroy any remaining ideological foundation.
“To what? Bringing Obi to where? You want to kill the party? 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.
If you want to destroy this party, dare it — bring Obi. There’s no way he will come back just because of ambition. No more ideology, no longer principle,” he said.
Recall that Obi, who ran as the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, recently promised one term, maintaining that four years is enough for him to turn Nigeria around.
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 currently trying to woo him to rejoin the PDP.
