The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Wednesday, told party members to get ready for a tough political fight before the 2027 general elections.
Wike said that political power is not given easily; it has
to be fought for, sacrificed for, and worked hard for.
He spoke at the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, 109th
National Executive Committee meeting in Abuja, where he he said opposition
politics needs strength, good organization, and strong will.
He warned that the party won’t get back to power by relying
on luck or just hoping for it.
Using his own political experiences, Wike encouraged
candidates not to let pressure, arrests, or legal challenges stop them, saying
that political achievements are usually made through facing difficulties.
“Nobody gives power. Power is taken. You have to struggle
for it in order to get it. No one gives power, and no one is willing to take it
away from you.
“You have to struggle for it. You have to fight for it. “You
don’t need to be scared,” Wike said.
The former governor of Rivers State said that even though
there are still disagreements within the party and some court cases going on,
the PDP is still moving forward with its plans for the election and won’t let
legal issues stop them.
“From my point of view, June 26 is the day they will provide
the access code to political parties so they can upload the results. Don’t
worry, we are good to go.
“No one is scared of the court; courts are for real people,
not for ghosts,” he said.
Wike noted that many party members were still having trouble
adjusting to life without power, since they had been used to the benefits of
being in charge for a long time.
He emphasized that getting back into politics would need a
new way of thinking.
“So most of you used to come and take from PDP whenever they
were in power, like spoiled children who relied on whatever their father gave
them every day.
“It seems your father is sick right now, and there’s no one
else to take care of things. You’re thinking that the whole world has come to
an end,” he said.
