The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike has said former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar and ex-Senate President, David Mark, never meant well for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
In his monthly media chat, Wike said Atiku and Mark tried to takeover PDP’s national chairmanship but failed.
According to Wike: “There is nothing Atiku and co didn’t do to take over the national chairmanship of the PDP, we stood firm and said no it won’t happen
“The issue of secretary came – which is the life wire of any party – when they did not get it – the issue of coalition started.
“He (Atiku) is from Adamawa, why didn’t his governor join him? Why didn’t Bala join him? We said we won’t allow you to continue playing your old games.
“These people calling my name Wike, am I the one who elected Anyanwu at the National Convention? He was elected during the National Convention.
“When these people now saw that they can’t takeover the party, the issue of coalition came. Nigerians are angry with them, Atiku was Vice President for eight years, he left in 2002 to AC, left to APC, now to ADC.
“How can an elder statesman be jumping, what are you going to tell your children?
“The buccaneers and vampires have left who never meant well for the PDP.
“Since 1999, PDP has been sustained by South-South and South-East because of the kind of politics here.”

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.
Wike urged Nigerians to consider the rationale behind the coalition, noting that it is made up of individuals who are hungry because they are no longer in power.
“Nigerians need to be careful of these group of Nigerians who are angry because they left power.
“Nigerians know everybody. For how long would you continue to deceive them? Who would want to give listening to these kind of people?” he stated.
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.
Basira FC have announced Sunday, 6 July, as the resumption date for the 2025-26 Nigeria National League (NNL) season.
The players and officials will resume training on Monday, July 7, 2025, at the Lafia City Stadium in Lafia.
The resumption date was confirmed in a press release by the club’s media officer, Ramalan Abubakar.
Basira FC failed to secure a spot in the NNL Super Eight Playoff at the end of last season.
The Lafia-based club are determined to rebuild and get the players in top shape to ensure a strong start to the upcoming season.
Basira FC are expected to take part in warm-up games ahead of the new season.
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Thursday revealed that the FCTA made N650 million in revenue from the newly renovated Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre, Abuja, in three weeks.
Wike made the revelation during a media chat with some selected journalists in Abuja.
The facility was commissioned by President Tinubu on June 10 as one of the projects recently executed by Wike.
The refurbished ICC was renamed in the President’s honour as the Bola Tinubu International Conference Centre, Abuja.
During the inauguration, President Tinubu lauded the Minister and named him “the Landlord of Abuja.”
