Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, last night held a closed door meeting with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu, former Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom and other members of the main opposition party loyal to him.
The meeting which began at 8:40 pm and later went into a closed-door session, took place at the minister’s official residence in Abuja.
Other senior PDP figures at the meeting include former Abia State governor, Okezie Ikpeazu and former Enugu State governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.

Also present are the National Vice Chairman of the party (South-South), Dan Orbih, former Senator representing Rivers East, George Sekibo; as well as other zonal and state party chairmen.
Wike had earlier in the day, during his monthly media chat, disclosed that he and some members of the party would be meeting later.
During the briefing, the FCT Minister said the defeat PDP suffered in 2023 would be child’s play compared to what it would face in 2027 if it nominated Peter Obi as its presidential candidate.
He also urged former President Goodluck Jonathan to shelve his speculated presidential ambition in 2027, by being content with his status as an elder statesman and international peacemaker.
