Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has cautioned Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed against moves to bring former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, back into the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Speaking during a media parley on Monday in Abuja, Wike reacted to comments made by Mohammed, who chairs the PDP Governors’ Forum, during an interview on Channels Television.
The Bauchi governor had suggested that the party was considering Obi and former President Goodluck Jonathan as potential candidates for the 2027 presidential election.
Wike dismissed the idea, insisting that returning Obi to the PDP and handing him the party’s ticket would spell doom for the opposition.
“Bringing Obi to where? You want to kill the party? Obi that was abusing the PDP, saying it is rotten, so the party is now good enough for him? Ambition can make people even go to Satan’s house,” Wike declared.
