Former presidential aide Dr Reuben Abati has criticised Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, for behaving as if he has the power to dictate political choices to Nigerians ahead of the 2027 general elections. Abati pointed to a video showing Wike allocating political positions to individuals at a rally in Rivers State, including appointing President Bola Tinubu as the president, naming candidates for governorship, Senate, House of Representatives, and state House of Assembly seats.
Abati questioned Wike's actions, stating that political offices should be determined by voters rather than allocated by political leaders. He emphasized that while Wike and others may share the same goal of ensuring Tinubu's election, the power to choose political positions should lie with the Nigerian electorate.
