Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has disclosed that Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed visited his house and asked him to put the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) national convention on hold to allow aggrieved members to discuss. Speaking during his monthly media chat in Abuja, Wike said he refused, arguing that halting the convention would be wrong. Wike also expressed readiness to help resolve differences within the party, stating that PDP remains capable of making an impact once the crisis ends.
Key Points:
The disclosure exposes ongoing high-level divisions within PDP leadership.
Wike’s refusal signals his commitment to pushing forward despite internal opposition.
The party’s ability to challenge the ruling APC depends on resolving such rifts.
Public airing of private talks may further strain Wike-Bala Mohammed relations.
PDP risks voter fatigue if internal crisis narrative continues into 2027.
Watch whether Bala Mohammed responds to Wike’s claims and if the PDP schedules any unity talks ahead of the next election cycle.
