I don’t need a role to deliver victory for Tinubu – Wike

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has stated that he doesn't need a role in the APC campaign council to ensure President Bola Tinubu's victory in the 2027 election. According to Punch, he made this assertion recently.

Wike also mentioned that history has shown presidential campaign directors-general often lose their states while focusing on national campaigns, as reported by Premium Times.

The Minister emphasized that the re-election campaign of President Tinubu will focus on concrete, visible projects that enhance citizens' lives, rather than relying on hollow promises, according to Daily Post Nigeria. Wike expressed satisfaction with the administration's progress on infrastructure projects in the FCT. BusinessDay Nigeria also reported that Wike has ruled out leading President Tinubu's 2027 presidential campaign, citing risks to his own state, Rivers.
