Whether anybody likes it or not, Tinubu has done well – Wike

Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike has defended President Bola Tinubu's performance, urging political rivals not to dismiss his achievements. Speaking at a media briefing in Abuja, Wike stated, "Whether anybody likes it or not, Mr President has done well." He criticized opposition politicians for misleading Nigerians about Tinubu's record and argued that political rivalry should not prevent recognition of the administration's accomplishments.

Wike emphasized that a coalition supporting Tinubu's re-election was not meant to eliminate political differences but to create an opportunity for broader support around a common electoral goal. He also dismissed claims that a potential Atiku Abubakar–Rotimi Amaechi ticket was gaining significant traction in northern Nigeria, citing a town hall meeting attended by Amaechi as evidence.
