The statement reads in part:

The Anambra State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has formally invited its former prominent member, Mr. Peter Obi, to rejoin the party in preparation for the 2027 general elections.

This public appeal, issued during a stakeholders’ meeting in Awka, signals a strategic effort to foster opposition unity aimed at challenging the incumbent All Progressives Congress, APC

PDP leaders emphasized Obi’s enduring influence as a political heavyweight from the Southeast, contending that his return would substantially boost the party’s national standing and strengthen the region’s political leverage.

Recent History and Potential Implications
It’s worth recalling the significant support Mr. Peter Obi garnered support from PDP youths, who had advocated for him to receive the presidential ticket, even leading to protests at the PDP national office in Abuja.

It was also gathered that Mr. Obi’s strong performance in the last presidential election, particularly his victories across the South-South geopolitical zone, proved challenging for the PDP.

Investigation revealed that the defection currently hitting the PDP is linked to Atiku Abubakar who was the Party’s standard bearer, meaning that the Party wanted power to remain in the North after an eight-year presidential term by a northern leader.

Ile-Ife, Osun State – The Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi, has urged Nigerian universities to undertake a comprehensive study of the political strategies employed by Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory.

Speaking at the 2025 OAU Distinguished Personality Lecture, where Wike was the keynote speaker, the revered monarch described Wike’s consistent political relevance and his unexpected inclusion in President Bola Tinubu’s cabinet as a “phenomenon worthy of academic study.”

Oba Ogunwusi lauded President Tinubu for his foresight in bringing Wike, a prominent figure from an opposing political party, into his government. “I give great honor to the father of the nation, President Bola Tinubu. Despite belonging to different political parties, you have found a way to work together,” the Ooni stated.

He further emphasized the enigmatic nature of Wike’s political trajectory, remarking, “Your presence in this government remains a mystery, one that universities should seriously examine.”

The Ooni acknowledged the contentious aspects of Wike’s political career but highlighted his undeniable resilience and boldness. “Whether you like him or not, Wike has been politically relevant for over two decades and deserves to be studied,” he asserted.

“Though not everyone may agree with him, many respect his courage. Nigeria belongs to all of us, and Wike is making his mark in the nation’s history.”

The event drew a distinguished audience, including the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, and former governors Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State and Samuel Ortom of Benue State.

Recall that Wike’s political journey includes serving as governor of Rivers State from May 2015 to May 2023, followed by his appointment as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory in August 2023.

His open support for President Tinubu’s potential 2027 re-election bid has drawn significant criticism from within his own party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), with some members accusing him of anti-party activities.

Synchronizing the above with emphasis, Wike was able to maneuver his political platforms despite the internal party turmoil, and was also not only relevant but has remained steadfast, even openly challenging his party leadership and actively shaping intra-party dynamics.
