Wike is rallying embattled PDP leaders to "save the party", despite being a central force in its internal crisis. His gathering of ex-Governors and top chieftains raises a critical question: Can the man who fractured the house now fix it?
- Wike hosts Ortom, Ikpeazu, Ugwuanyi, and others under the "Concerned Stakeholders" group
- Reaffirms that the PDP “will not die,” blames impunity and ego for the party’s woes
- Defends G5’s 2023 decisions, saying it stabilised Nigeria
- Ortom calls Wike PDP’s biggest contributor, defends his national appointment
- Internal grievances centre on power rotation, impunity, and party structure
Wike once disrupted the PDP's 2023 ambitions by championing the G5’s rebellion against zoning violations. Now, he positions himself as its saviour. The irony isn’t lost on observers, especially as his critics argue his influence helped fracture the party in the first place. But politics is full of comebacks, and Wike’s latest move feels less like remorse and more like a strategic reset.
Is Wike rebuilding bridges or just repositioning for 2027? The party’s future may depend on whether its key actors can rise above personal ego.
