Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, is gearing up for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election in 2027
The former rivers state governor is double daring his critic with a promise to deliver Rivers state for Tinubu
While speaking during a media chat in Abuja on Monday, June 2, Wike said;
“I have told you this before, is it because I am in Asiwaju’s presidency? Are you not aware I will lead his campaign in Rivers State? You want me to say no?” he said
The minister further predicted a dramatic reversal of Tinubu’s 2023 election performance in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), where the president secured less than 10 per cent of votes
“Are you not aware that he did not get up to 10 per cent here, FCT? But he will win here. Are you not aware? Stop asking me questions you know. Of course, you know. Is that hidden?”

It is however unclear whether Wike will still remain in PDP by that time
Recall that in the last general election, the former Governor openly and boldly worked for Tinubu, Ensuring that He delivered Rivers state for him
All this He did while still being an active member of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP
Nyesom Wike has never hidden his support for Tinubu and the APC, despite being in the opposition
This has however led to many members of the party becoming angry over the inaction of the party leaders in kicking Wike out
Well as things heat up ahead of 2027, it is glaring that Nyesom Wike is the weapon fashioned against the PDP
