Nyesom Wike Backs Tinubu's 2027 Re-election Bid

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, pledged to mobilize his Rainbow Coalition Movement to support President Bola Tinubu's re-election in 2027 and National Assembly candidates in Abuja. This declaration was made during a stakeholders' meeting at his official residence in Life Camp, Abuja, where he urged members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to collaborate.

The meeting included the PDP National Chairman, state chairmen of both parties, chairmen of the six FCT area councils, National Assembly candidates, former federal lawmakers, and community representatives. Wike attributed the APC's recent victory in the Edo State governorship election to cooperation with the legacy PDP.

He stated that the coalition would focus on securing Tinubu's re-election and supporting candidates from both parties. Wike expressed confidence in his role as field operations officer, assuring success in their political activities and emphasizing the need for decisive leadership.
