Wike Reaffirms Support for Tinubu's 2027 Re-election Bid
Nyesom Wike, the Federal Capital Territory Minister, has reiterated his unwavering support for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, stating that his backing is firm. Wike clarified that he never committed to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) not fielding candidates in the upcoming governorship, National Assembly, and State House of Assembly elections.
He described the Rainbow Coalition as a platform for political parties supporting Tinubu's re-election, asserting it has no ties to the All Progressives Congress (APC). Wike emphasized that political issues should be resolved locally rather than using the presidential election to create sentiments.
He noted that he had not met with the APC prior to supporting Tinubu in 2023 and intends to mobilize support for the President's re-election in 2027. Wike pointed out the need for genuine support from political stakeholders and highlighted the importance of local political dynamics in winning elections.
