Wike Advocates Performance Over Drama in Elections

During a visit to Edo State, Nyesom Wike, the Federal Capital Territory Minister, stated that elections should be won through performance rather than superficial actions like street drama or buying corn. He emphasized that voters should recognize the importance of tangible achievements over mere theatrics during election seasons.

Wike criticized politicians who engage in public displays to win sympathy, asserting that such actions are deceptive. He praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration for its developmental initiatives in the Federal Capital Territory, highlighting that citizens are looking for real performance.

Wike, a member of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), acknowledged that the party would not contest the outcome of the presidential election, citing the need to focus on tangible achievements rather than disputing results.
