The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has denied rumors of a possible move to Rivers State, stating his intention remains to remain close to his constituents ahead of the 2027 general elections. During a recent media briefing in Abuja, Wike emphasized that his presence in Rivers State was crucial for monitoring political activities and ensuring proper administration.
"It's not about relocating, it's about coming home to relate with the people and talk to them, and also do those things you know how to do very well, not to take chances," Wike explained. He clarified that he wouldn't relocate but maintain a connection with his people, so he wouldn't simply sit in Abuja and claim everything was functioning smoothly.
Wike highlighted the political significance of the upcoming election, asserting he wouldn't allow former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to win. "I can tell you my parents are still very much alive. Of course, this is time for politics. 'You want me to fold my hand for Atiku Abubakar to come and win the election?'" Wike questioned.
