It’s no secret’ – Momodu on Wike’s hopes for Tinubu’s 2027 exit

Despite his ministerial role in Tinubu's APC-led administration, Wike has publicly committed to remaining within the PDP.

Former presidential candidate and PDP chieftain Dele Momodu has accused Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike and his associates of orchestrating a crisis within the People's Democratic Party (PDP).

According to Momodu, the group's intentions are aimed at influencing the 2027 presidential race.

Speaking on Channels Television's Politics Today, Momodu asserted, "Truth is constant; they have never hidden their mission in the ongoing struggle in the PDP."

He suggested that Wike's faction within the PDP hopes President Bola Tinubu will not seek re-election, positioning themselves to use the PDP as a platform to contest the presidency.

"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," he remarked.

Despite his ministerial role in Tinubu's APC-led administration, Wike has publicly committed to remaining within the PDP.

Momodu, however, claims Wike's loyalty lies with his own aspirations rather than party unity.

"Everybody knows. Even members of the APC, they know that these guys are playing games," he said, suggesting that both APC and PDP insiders are aware of Wike's tactics.

Momodu's comments shed light on ongoing tensions within the PDP, sparking renewed debate over political alliances and ambitions ahead of the 2027 elections.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is steadfast in its demand for the death certificate of the late Grace Tiaga, a former director of legal services at the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, to be submitted in court. Tiaga faced charges brought by the EFCC, alleging her involvement in receiving payments from Process & Industrial Development (P&ID) to manipulate the 20-year gas supply and processing agreement (GSPA) against Nigeria. The EFCC claims that these illicit payments were made through her daughter and persisted even after her retirement. The accusations extend to Tiaga's purported failure to adhere to due process while providing legal counsel on the GSPA. Initially facing eight counts of fraud, she was remanded to Suleja prison in 2019, later granted bail, and the charges were expanded to 13 counts. As the trial progressed, the prosecution p
