Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, has explained that there will be no chance for the 2023 Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to secure the party’s ticket in 2027.

Wike disclosed this during a live media parley in his office in Abuja on Wednesday.

Responding to a question about Atiku’s recent claim that his economic blueprint would rescue and serve Nigerians better than the current administration’s approach, Wike said that Atiku had previously presented his blueprint to Nigerians, who rejected him.

He said, “Did he not present it before Nigerians? Did Nigerians choose him? He is lobbying for another chance, but the chance will not be there. In which party? How can we rely on one man for so many years?

“Trump was not in government, yet he got to work and told the Republicans, ‘Listen, what do we do? We have to be serious.’ You can’t sideline people and say you will fight someone just because you feel he is too influential.”
