Director of Abuja School of Social and Political Thought, Sam Amadi has revealed why the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike and his faction have emerged as the winner in the infighting that has engulfed the party in recent years.

In an interview on ‘Prime Time’, a programme on Arise Television, he described the Wike faction as a moving force of nature.

His comment comes following the recently held national convention of the PDP in Abuja which happened 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.
