Wike Announces SUV Purchase for FCT Traditional Rulers

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), announced on Saturday in Abuja that President Bola Tinubu approved the purchase of SUVs for traditional rulers in the FCT. This announcement was made during the Rainbow Coalition Stakeholders Rally, which also involved the unveiling of FCT National Assembly candidates.

Wike emphasized the importance of traditional rulers in preserving culture and maintaining peace, noting that the approval for the SUVs reflects Tinubu's commitment to the FCT. He stated that traditional rulers should not be treated poorly and mentioned that they would receive their vehicles before December.

Wike also called for grassroots mobilization ahead of the January 16, 2027 elections, urging supporters to ensure they deliver their polling units. He criticized the incumbent Senator for not engaging with constituents and announced that four buses would be provided for youth mobilization, with an interactive session scheduled for November 10.
