Wike Critiques Amaechi's Town Hall Attendance Ahead of 2027
Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, mocked former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi during his monthly media chat in Abuja. Wike dismissed Amaechi's prediction regarding the 2027 presidential election, pointing out that Amaechi's town hall meeting in Cross River attracted fewer than 200 attendees.
Wike responded to a question about whether the emerging opposition alliance, which includes Amaechi and former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, poses a threat to President Bola Tinubu's re-election. Amaechi had claimed at the meeting that Atiku, being from the North, would win the election, as all other prominent candidates, including President Tinubu, Labour Party's Peter Obi, and former Governor Donald Duke, are from the South.
