The Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, has promised N10 million to councillors who successfully deliver their wards for President Bola Tinubu and other APC candidates during the 2027 general elections. Speaking at a Rainbow Coalition stakeholders' meeting in Kwali Area Council, Wike urged councillors to mobilize residents and community groups to secure victory for the APC.
He also endorsed Tinubu's re-election bid and three candidates for local government positions. Wike criticised opposition parties for double standards and hypocrisy in their reactions to judicial rulings and defended his administration's provision of brand-new SUVs to traditional rulers, dismissing allegations of political inducements or bribes.
The FCT Civil Service Commission and infrastructure upgrades in satellite towns are among the administration's achievements, according to Wike. He lamented the historical marginalisation of the FCT and warned councillors to perform well in the upcoming election.
