Momodu contended that Wike and his group are responsible for the ongoing crisis within the PDP.
A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, Dele Momodu has pointed accusing fingers at Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
He alleged that Wike and his allies are being used to destabilize the party ahead of the 2027 election.
Recall that Wike has pledged to remain with the PDP despite serving as a minister in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) government.
Momodu spoke during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
He contended that Wike and his group are responsible for the ongoing crisis within the PDP.
The veteran journalist suggested that Wike’s faction hopes Tinubu will withdraw from the 2027 presidential race, allowing the former Rivers Governor to leverage the PDP for his own presidential bid, as they believe they have little chance within the APC.
He also said that everyone knows about the group’s mission, adding that the APC members know that Wike’s group are playing games.
He said, “Truth is constant, they have never hidden their mission in the ongoing struggle in the PDP. They have boasted that they have worked for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in 2023 and also said in advance that they’ll work for him in 2027.
“And they’ll remain in PDP and will not leave the party so that they’ll continue to press it down. Everybody knows. Even members of the APC, they know that these guys are playing games.
“They’re hoping that somewhere along the line, Tinubu will not run in 2027 and then they’ll hold PDP down and use it because they know APC will never give them their platform.
“Nobody is going to allow you after destroying your own home you come and destroy their own. Everybody knows.”
