Coalition: They wanted to hijack PDP – Wike on why Atiku, David Mark, others left party for ADC
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has explained that the former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, ex-Senate President David Mark, and others who recently left the People’s Democratic Party exited because they could not hijack the party’s leadership.
Wike disclosed this in a media chat with journalists on Thursday.
According to him, David Mark wanted to be PDP chairman but was denied, which is why he left the party for the African Democratic Congress.
He added that the opposition has decimated itself ahead of the general elections in 2027.
“The opposition has decimated themselves,” he said.
Recall that David Mark, Atiku, and others recently adopted the African Democratic Congress as a coalition to unseat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027.
