He attributed the wave of defections rocking the PDP to poor leadership decisions, warning that any organisation lacking clear direction is bound to struggle.
The minister recalled previously advising party leaders to address internal issues before they escalated, stressing that leadership remains central to political survival.
According to Wike, the PDP’s decline is not due to lack of public recognition but the inability of its leadership to listen, accept feedback and take corrective action.
He expressed optimism that the party could rebound if its leaders admit past mistakes, refocus their strategies and place collective interest above personal ambition.
