Wike Confident FCT Projects Will Boost Tinubu's 2027 Votes

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), stated that his administration's projects and community engagement will help earn votes for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections. Speaking during a media parley in Abuja, Wike highlighted that his governance approach has focused on infrastructure development and consultations with indigenous communities.

He noted that this strategy has addressed longstanding concerns and emphasized that political support should be based on tangible results. Wike mentioned the recent support from former senators and area council chairmen across political affiliations.

He defended his administration's efforts in security by constructing police stations in each of the six area councils and announced plans to commission at least 10 projects by December, including roads linking various communities. Wike dismissed claims that he was only aiming for 25 percent of the votes, asserting that his administration's record in infrastructure, security, and community engagement would significantly influence public support.
