Nyesom Wike's media representative, Lere Olayinka, declared during a recent appearance on Arise TV's Morning Show that the Nigeria Democratic Congress, led by Peter Obi for the 2027 presidential race, is aware they cannot win. Olayinka's comments come after the NDC's failure to field gubernatorial hopefuls in approximately 15 states nationwide.
He stated, "The party of Peter Obi knows they cannot secure victory; they are merely participating to assert their presence." Olayinka further criticized the NDC for not running candidates in recent Ekiti and Osun elections, asserting, "Without a presence on the ground to solicit votes and handle the election process, how can one win?"
Despite this, Olayinka remains confident in President Bola Tinubu's party, the All Progressives Congress, securing another term in the upcoming January election.
