• Naijanews • Politics
Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), expressed strong disapproval of comments made by Channel Television anchor Seun Okinbaloye regarding the possibility of a "one-party state" in Nigeria. This exchange occurred during the Thursday edition of Channel Television's "Politics Today" program, where Okinbaloye claimed that the 2027 elections would be contested by only one political party due to the ongoing crisis within the ADC party. Wike's response, delivered during a media chat in Abuja on Friday, indicated that he felt Okinbaloye's comments were biased and took sides in the political turmoil affecting the ADC. Wike's remarks underscore the heightened tensions in Nigeria's political landscape as the country approaches the next electoral cycle.
