Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has declared himself the field commander of President Bola Tinubu’s re-election campaign in the FCT, pledging to coordinate the president’s campaign in the territory and Rivers State ahead of the 2027 general elections. At a stakeholders’ meeting of the Rainbow Coalition in Abuja, Wike unveiled a cross-party mobilisation strategy involving members of the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party to secure Tinubu’s re-election.

The coalition aims to work together for Tinubu’s re-election and the success of APC candidates in the National Assembly elections, setting aside political differences for the purpose of the election.
