‘2027 will be different from 2023’ – Wike says Amaechi not giving Tinubu sleepless nights

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, has stated that the 2027 Nigerian presidential election will be significantly different from the 2023 election. Wike made this assertion during his monthly media chat in Abuja, dismissing claims that Rotimi Amaechi, the African Democratic Congress presidential running mate, is causing President Bola Tinubu sleepless nights ahead of the 2027 polls.

According to Wike, a recent town hall meeting held by Amaechi in Cross River State reflected a belief that the 2027 election has already been won. Wike noted that Amaechi told supporters, "this election has been won, can I tell you how this election will be handled?" This claim, according to Wike, is improbable, as Amaechi was a minister in 2019 and still couldn't secure 25% of the votes for his candidate in the Rivers State gubernatorial election.
