Governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have reportedly struck a deal with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, regarding the political landscape leading up to the 2027 general elections.
According to sources cited in a recent report by Punch, the agreement was reached following a meeting between Wike and the PDP governors in Abuja on Tuesday night. The details of the alleged deal suggest a consensus on the future direction and leadership within the opposition party.
While specific terms of the agreement were not officially disclosed, the report indicates that the discussions centered on strategies for the PDP to regain power in 2027 and the roles various stakeholders, including Wike and the incumbent governors, would play in achieving this objective.
Wike, a former governor of Rivers State and a prominent figure within the PDP, has been a subject of significant political attention since his appointment as FCT Minister by the current administration despite his party affiliation. His continued influence within the PDP and his interactions with party leaders have been closely watched.
The reported agreement with the governors suggests a potential alignment of interests and a move towards resolving internal differences within the PDP as the party prepares for the next electoral cycle. The meeting and the subsequent alleged deal are seen as a significant development in the ongoing political maneuvering ahead of 2027.
Neither the FCT Minister’s office nor the PDP Governors’ Forum have issued official statements confirming the details of the reported agreement at the time of this report. However, the development is expected to generate further discussion and analysis within Nigeria’s political circles.
