Get another job, Abuja, Rivers for Peter Obi – Isaac Fayose on Wike’s vow to resign

Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose has criticized Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, over his threat to resign if President Bola Tinubu does not secure victory in the FCT and Rivers State during the 2027 presidential election. Wike made this assertion during a meeting with the leadership and members of the Apo Mechanics and Traders Association in Abuja on Wednesday.

Fayose's response, shared on his Facebook page on Thursday, alleges that Peter Obi, the candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), would emerge victorious in the FCT and Rivers State if the election is conducted fairly. Fayose asserts that Obi won Abuja in the previous election and anticipates even greater success in the 2027 polls.

According to Fayose, Tinubu's presidency is merely a temporary arrangement, and it is time for Nigeria to progress. He cautions Wike against attempting to manipulate the election outcome, stating that the power to rig lies with God. Fayose concludes by urging Wike to find another job, emphasizing that Abuja and Rivers are not his to command.
