Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike has stated that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar would confront challenges in the southern region if President Bola Tinubu encounters difficulties in the North leading up to the 2027 presidential election. This assertion was made during a press conference in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Wike drew on the G5 governors' strategy from the 2023 presidential race, noting that they understood Atiku to be the primary opponent to Tinubu in the 2023 election. Consequently, the G5 governors endeavored to undermine Atiku's prospects in the South. Wike further dismissed claims of Peter Obi's popularity, asserting that while Obi garners vocal support, his widespread electoral influence remains questionable.
