Wike: All The Candidates Of PDP As Far As 2027 Election Is Concerned Are Going To Work For Tinubu

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has stirred political controversy following a statement in which he declared that all candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would work for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the ongoing political contest.

Wike made the statement in a video shared by TVC on Monday, October 12, 2026. His remarks have attracted attention because of the political implications of a PDP minister openly expressing support for the president, who belongs to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Speaking in the video, Wike made his position clear, insisting that PDP candidates would work towards supporting Tinubu. His declaration has raised questions about the direction of the opposition party and the possible implications of his political influence on its candidates and supporters.

“All the candidates of PDP as far as this election is concerned are going to work for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.” The statement is particularly significant given the PDP’s position as one of Nigeria’s major political parties and its traditional role in challenging the APC at the national level.

Wike’s comments could intensify discussions about political alliances, party loyalty and the possibility of cooperation between individuals within the PDP and the president’s political camp.

The FCT minister has remained a prominent figure in Nigeria’s political landscape, especially because of his influence within the PDP and his appointment to President Tinubu’s cabinet.

His continued association with the president has frequently generated debate among party members, political observers and supporters of the opposition.

Wike’s latest declaration may also create further discussions about whether PDP candidates share his position or intend to pursue their political ambitions independently. However, his statement alone does not establish that every PDP candidate has formally endorsed Tinubu.
