Anti-party claims: Wike, Soludo and Adeleke fight back

The support of opposition figures for Bola Tinubu’s re-election campaign has raised questions about party loyalty ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general election. Nyesom Wike, Federal Capital Territory minister and PDP member, Anambra Governor Chukwuma Soludo of APGA, and Osun Governor Ademola Adeleke, elected under the Accord Party banner, are at the centre of the debate. Their choices test their parties’ ability to manage internal disagreements and defend their political identities. The PDP constitution, including Section 10(6), bars members from aligning with other parties or groups to undermine the party or its elected governments.
