Director of Abuja School of Social and Political Thought, Sam Amadi, says the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, is a leader of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, not because of hierarchy but a moving force of his faction.
Amadi stated this on Monday during a live appearance in an
interview on ‘Prime Time’, a programme on Arise Television.
He was speaking on the recently concluded national
convention of the PDP in Abuja shortly after that of the ruling All
Progressives Congress, APC.
He stressed that Bukola Saraki, a former Senate President,
would concede because Wike has more political gravitas and more institutional
capacity than he does.
According to him, the faction has been thriving on Wike
getting things done.
“Wike tried to be smart. He tried to say, we are all
leaders. But clearly he didn’t fight back not because of hierarchy.
“But again the moving force behind this brand of PDP is
Wike. Former Senate President, Bukola Saraki pretend to be on the sideline and
then get himself up and say, well, let’s come together. So he’s not the guy
who’s driving this. Wike is the leader.
“Is it odd? Not necessarily, Saraki himself will concede
that at this point, perhaps Wike has more political gravitas, more social
capacity than he does, even though he’s former Senate President,” Amadi said.
