Wike Justifies Role in Tinubu's 2027 Campaign Council
Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, clarified his inclusion in President Bola Tinubu's 2027 re-election campaign council, which also features politicians from other parties. Wike, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, stated that the All Progressives Congress (APC) aims to accommodate individuals willing to support Tinubu's re-election bid.
He made these remarks during a media parley in Abuja, where he was appointed as a state campaign coordinator for Rivers State and the FCT. Wike argued that the campaign should not be limited to APC members, as the constitutional requirement for presidential candidates to run through a political party does not exclude support from outside that party.
He expressed that this expanded coalition reflects a broader base of support for Tinubu's second term. Alongside Wike, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke and Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo were also appointed as state campaign coordinators for their respective states.
