Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, has announced that Senator Ireti Kingibe will not retain her FCT Senate seat in 2027. This comes as Wike defended the FCT Administration's borrowing for infrastructure projects. Kingibe accused the administration of obtaining loans without the approval of the National Assembly.

He emphasized that Kingibe's accusation demonstrated a lack of understanding of the loan approval process. Wike also linked Kingibe's criticism to the upcoming 2027 elections, stating that the residents had already made their political choice by supporting President Tinubu and Philip Aduda for the Senate.
