Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has dismissed the likelihood of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar securing the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ticket for the 2027 general election, stating that it “simply will not happen.”
Speaking at a live media event in Abuja on Wednesday evening, Wike argued that Atiku had repeatedly presented his plans to Nigerians, only to be consistently rejected.
Atiku, the PDP’s presidential candidate in 2023, recently suggested that had he won the election, he would have governed differently from President Bola Tinubu, and Nigerians would not be experiencing the current level of hardship.

Wike said; “Did he (Atiku) not present it (blueprint) before Nigerians? Did Nigerians choose him? He is lobbying for another chance. The chance will not be there. In which party? How can we use one man for how many years?
“Look at America, I am sure you all did not support Trump saying he is this, he is a racist, he is that, we are crying, Americans were thinking about something else, thinking for the good of their own country made a decision.
“You presented your blueprint in 2023, Nigerians heard you clear and said thank you, but it will not work, we will not support you. Criticisms do not mean opposition is working”.
