25% is a joke, Wike pledges mass electoral victory for Tinubu in FCT

Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike has expressed confidence that his administration's infrastructure projects and engagement with indigenous communities will bolster support for President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election. During a media parley in Abuja, Wike highlighted the impact of his administration's approach to governance in the territory, noting that former senators, members of the National Assembly and area council chairmen had come together in support of the administration, regardless of their political affiliations.

Wike dismissed the suggestion that his political mobilisation was aimed at securing only a 25% electoral threshold for Tinubu, stating that such a remark was a "joke."
