Nigeria House of Reps Member Slams PDP Over Wike's Attendance at National Caucus Meeting

Amidst the recent National caucus meeting of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), held on Wednesday, April 17, a member of the House of Representatives, Ikenga Ugochinyere, expressed strong criticism towards the party for allowing the presence of Governor Nyesom Wike.

In a post shared on his social media platform, Ugochinyere, who serves as the spokesperson for the Coalition of United Political Parties and is affiliated with the PDP, voiced his dismay over the apparent lack of action against Wike's attendance.

Ugochinyere questioned the party's strength and determination to reclaim power in 2027, expressing concern that allowing a figure campaigning for the All Progressives Congress (APC) to participate in their closed-door meeting could undermine the party's credibility. His remarks underscored a sense of frustration and disappointment among some party members regarding the perceived vulnerability of the PDP.

The incident raises broader questions about the party's internal dynamics, unity, and readiness to navigate political challenges effectively. As tensions within the PDP continue to simmer, Ugochinyere's comments highlight deeper concerns about the party's ability to assert its position and strategy in the lead-up to the 2027 elections.
