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

Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike has pledged mass electoral victory for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election, dismissing suggestions that a mere 25% support is a joke. Speaking during a media parley in Abuja, Wike highlighted his administration's infrastructure projects and engagement with indigenous communities as key factors contributing to this confidence.

He emphasized the impact of consultations with traditional rulers and other stakeholders, as well as the construction of police stations in each of the FCT's six area councils. Wike dismissed claims that his political mobilisation was only aimed at securing a minimum electoral threshold for Tinubu, instead defending his administration's commitment to extending infrastructure development beyond central Abuja to the outskirts of the capital.
