The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has warned that the Peoples Democratic Party risks self-destruction if it attempts to bring back former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, into its fold.
Speaking during a media chat on Monday, Wike said the PDP had not learned from past mistakes that cost it dearly in the 2023 general elections.
He recalled that he and other party leaders had repeatedly cautioned against allowing both the presidential candidate and the national chairman to come from the North, a move he insisted was unjust and politically suicidal.
“From day one, I told my colleagues, PDP, you are shooting yourself. If you allow what is going on to continue, you’ll pay. And what did I say? You cannot have the presidential candidate at the same time as the national chairman of the party,” Wike said.
