Nyesom Wike Affirms Loyalty to Tinubu, Denies 2027 Presidential Ambitions
Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has addressed speculations about his support for Bola Tinubu, asserting his loyalty to the former governor. Wike's statement, released by his senior special assistant, refuted claims of a 2027 presidential ambition and dismissed reports of pressure from the PDP.
The meeting held in August 2025 with Southern PDP stakeholders focused on regional issues, not presidential aspirations. Wike's camp emphasized the minister's commitment to delivering on Tinubu's agenda for infrastructure and policy reform in the FCT.
