Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Friday, said the Peoples Democratic Party , PDP, Governors Forum and those vying for a coalition, like former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, are not truthful.<\/p>\n

Wike warned that what happened in 2023, where the PDP lost the presidential election, may happen again in 2027 due to impunity within the party.<\/p>\n

He disclosed this in response to Atiku\u2019s move to form a coalition and the response of the PDP Governors Forum.<\/p>\n

Recently, Atiku spearheaded the move to form a coalition of opposition parties aimed at ousting President Bola Tinubu in 2027.<\/p>\n

However, the Chairman of the PDP Governors Forum, Governor Seyi Makinde, insisted that they will not be a part of Atiku\u2019s coalition.<\/p>\n

While addressing a media briefing in Abuja, Wike said: \u201cThose who said they want a coalition are not truthful to themselves, and those in the party are not useful; it\u2019s just a matter of interest.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me start with those who said they don\u2019t want a coalition, that is the Governors Forum, they are not sincere to themselves and the party.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn Tuesday, I watched Politics Today and I called Makinde to say you are not telling the truth regarding some issues.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the reasons why the PDP lost in 2023 was impunity. You are right; people who believe that they have all it takes and refuse to respect the constitution of the party regarding power-sharing between the North and South.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow you are making the same mistake with the impunity of the Governors Forum. You are repeating the same thing, and what happened in 2023 may happen again in 2027.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you don\u2019t stop this impunity, it will affect the party. How? The Governors Forum is not an organ of the party; it\u2019s a pressure group that can influence the National Working Committee.\u201d<\/p>\n
