The political atmosphere in Abuja took another interesting turn last night as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, hosted a closed-door meeting with influential members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The meeting, which kicked off around 8:40 pm at Wike’s official residence, brought together heavyweight figures within the party who are known to share close political ties with the former Rivers State governor.
Among those in attendance were:
-
Sam Anyanwu, PDP National Secretary
-
Dan Orbih, National Vice Chairman (South-South)
-
Samuel Ortom, former Governor of Benue State
-
Okezie Ikpeazu, former Governor of Abia State
-
Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, former Governor of Enugu State
-
George Sekibo, former Senator representing Rivers East
-
Several zonal and state party chairmen
Earlier in the day, during his monthly media chat, Wike had hinted that a strategic meeting with select PDP members would take place later in the evening — a statement that set the tone for the gathering.
Although details of the discussions remain undisclosed, the political significance of such a high-level meeting cannot be overlooked, especially as the PDP navigates its internal dynamics and prepares for the battles ahead.
For now, Nigerians and party faithful alike are keeping a close eye on Wike’s moves, as his influence within both the PDP and the federal political space continues to grow
