Former presidential media adviser Umar Sani accused FCT Minister Nyesom Wike of sabotaging the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from within, bluntly stating party leaders want him to leave for good.
In a January 3, 2026, ARISE News interview, Sani portrayed Wike as a destructive "mole" working for the APC, fueling crises through battles with PDP governors and demands for NWC influence. He revealed Wike's alleged condition that PDP skip fielding a 2027 presidential candidate, insisting the first Wike-free NWC signals his irrelevance. Sani urged: "Leave if you think PDP collapses without you—we dare you."
Tensions spiked post-2023 when Wike joined Tinubu's cabinet despite PDP loyalty, leading to expulsions of him and allies like Fayose during the Ibadan convention. Sani dismissed personal grudges, blaming Wike's refusal to let PDP rebuild independently ahead of 2027, confident courts will affirm PDP control.
Online discourse erupted with anti-Wike cheers and loyalist pushback.
