Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has advised the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to zone its 2027 presidential ticket to the southern part of Nigeria.
He made this recommendation on Monday while reading the communique from a PDP stakeholders meeting in Abuja, held under the umbrella of the “Concerned Stakeholders of the PDP.”
Notably, Wike, who serves as a minister in President Bola Tinubu’s All Progressives Congress (APC) administration, has previously stated his commitment to ensuring President Tinubu’s reelection in 2027.

This comes after the APC leadership, in May, endorsed Tinubu for an automatic return ticket for the 2027 election.
During the meeting on Monday, Wike said the PDP will have his support in the 2027 election if the presidential ticket is zone to the Southern part of Nigeria “in the spirit of fairness, inclusion, federal character principles and respect for our party constitution.”
“The Party must make an unequivocal pronouncement zoning its presidential candidate to the South in the 2027 elections after the unbroken years of Northern President under President Muhammadu Buhari,” Wike said.
“In line with the provisions of our party constitution only the National Secretary, Senator Sam Anyanwu, can issue notices of meeting of the National Convention, National Executive Committee, National Caucus and the National Working Committee and to this end all notices not issued by him and actions founded on them, including correspondences to INEC are null and void and of no effect whatsoever.
“To finally arrest the inexorable drift towards extinction in our party, the party must, without further delay, respect the judgment of the Supreme Court.
“We, therefore, unequivocally reaffirm Senator Sam Anyanwu as the duly elected and substantive National Secretary of our great party.”
