2027: Atiku has no chance, PDP ticket is out of reach – Wike

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has dismissed the possibility of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar securing the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ticket for the 2027 presidential election.

Speaking during a live media session in Abuja on Wednesday evening, Wike asserted that Atiku’s repeated attempts to win over Nigerians have consistently ended in rejection.

“Atiku has presented his blueprint multiple times, and Nigerians have repeatedly turned him down,” Wike stated, downplaying Atiku’s chances of making a political comeback.

Atiku, who was the PDP’s presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, recently commented on the hardships facing Nigerians under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

Wike said; “Did he (Atiku) not present it (blueprint) before Nigerians? Did Nigerians choose him? He is lobbying for another chance. The chance will not be there. In which party? How can we use one man for how many years?

“Look at America, I am sure you all did not support Trump saying he is this, he is a racist, he is that, we are crying, Americans were thinking about something else, thinking for the good of their own country made a decision.

“You presented your blueprint in 2023, Nigerians heard you clear and said thank you, but it will not work, we will not support you. Criticisms do not mean opposition is working”
