The Digest:
In a fiery media chat, FCT Minister Nyesom Wike claimed former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, ex-Senate President David Mark, and other defectors left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) after failing to "hijack" its leadership.

Key Points:
  • Wike alleged that David Mark defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) after being denied the PDP chairmanship.
  • Dubbed the ADC coalition "power-hungry," citing their frustration over losing influence.
  • Dismissed opposition unity efforts ahead of 2027: "They’ve decimated themselves."
  • Challenged defectors’ credibility: "Who listens to people jumping parties since 1999?"
  • ADC coalition aims to unseat President Tinubu, but internal rifts have already surfaced.
Wike, a former PDP stalwart now governing under Tinubu’s APC, frames loyalty as a one-way street, while rivals brand him the ultimate defector-in-chief.
