2027: Abuja is for Peter Obi – Isaac Fayose dares FCT Minister, Wike

Social commentator and businessman, Isaac Fayose, has boldly asserted that presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress, Peter Obi, will confidently secure victory in the 2027 presidential election in Abuja. Fayose made this claim on Tuesday, while being interviewed on News Central TV, in response to recent remarks by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.

Wike had stated in an interview that the opposition lacks appeal in Nigeria's capital, predicting that President Bola Tinubu would triumph in both Rivers State and the FCT. However, Fayose vehemently disagreed with Wike's assessment, declaring that "Abuja is NDC, Abuja is Peter Obi." Fayose emphasized that the ruling party's only option was to "write results," but they are actively developing strategies to ensure a fair election.

Fayose noted that people are eager to vote and called for a change in perception, suggesting that mock elections could be implemented before the actual voting process in Nigeria.
