Wike Questions Obi's Campaign Funding for 2027 Election
Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and former governor of Rivers State, commented on Peter Obi's political situation regarding the upcoming 2027 presidential election. During an event in Rivers State, Wike asserted that Obi, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, may encounter a more challenging campaign due to diminished political backing compared to the 2023 election.
Wike claimed that in 2023, Obi received support from certain individuals within government circles who believed he had a strong chance of winning. However, he argued that the current political landscape has changed, stating that Obi no longer enjoys similar support, which could significantly impact his ability to finance political activities and support his campaign.
Wike remarked, “Things are tough for him now, so he will not be in a position to give the money. No government is backing him.”.
