  "summary": "Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, has stated that he does not need a role in the APC campaign council to ensure President Bola Tinubu's victory in the 2027 election. According to Punch Nigeria, Wike made this assertion, expressing confidence in his ability to deliver victory for Tinubu without being part of the campaign team.\n\nWike also discussed the challenges of being a presidential campaign director-general, citing that history has shown such individuals often lose their states while focusing on national campaigns, as reported by Premium Times.\n\nThe Minister emphasized that the re-election campaign of President Tinubu will focus on concrete, visible projects that enhance citizens' lives, rather than relying on hollow promises, as reported by Daily Post Nigeria.",
