2027: Wike vows to deliver Rivers, FCT to Tinubu
Mr Wike, who described himself as the “General Commander of the Political Infantry” dismissed the suggestion that only a sitting governor could control a state’s political structure. The post 2027: Wike vows to deliver Rivers, FCT to Tinubu appeared first on Premium Times Nigeria .
Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, has warned that opposition politicians, including Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, would target him if President Bola Tinubu fails to secure re-election in 2027. Wike defended his commitment to Tinubu's re-election during a media chat in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. Despite being a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, Wike has been involved in a political battle with Atiku since 2022.
Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress for 2027, had also sought Wike's support for his 2023 presidential bid. Wike expressed concern over the political risk of backing Tinubu, stating that he would be the first target if the President's re-election bid fails. He challenged anyone to make the same mistake of allowing Tinubu to lose the election.
The minister assured that all capital projects initiated under Tinubu's administration in the FCT will be completed before the end of his tenure.
