2027: I’ll resign if Tinubu loses FCT and Rivers- Wike
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has declared that he will resign his position if President Tinubu loses the 2027 presidential election in the Federal Capital Territory and Rivers State.
Wike made the declaration on Wednesday, September 30, while addressing members of the Apo Mechanics and Traders Association in Abuja, insisting that he must be able to deliver electoral support for the President in the two areas he considers his primary political spheres of influence.
“If I cannot deliver where I work, then I’m not worthy to be here. If I lose FCT, I’m not supposed to be FCT Minister. By January 17, 2027, I will announce my resignation as FCT Minister should the President lose in Rivers State and the FCT,” he ad
Wike maintained his stance on the Rainbow coalition.
“Let us be clear on direction. For the Presidency, it is Bola Ahmed Tinubu! For the Senate, Philip Aduda is a man of the people, unlike those who only appear on television. The two House of Representatives candidates we are supporting are also here. They are former Area Council chairmen.
In the FCT, we are running a unified coalition across parties to deliver results.
If I cannot deliver FCT as Minister, then I am not qualified to hold this office. We have a firm agreement, and today is the final affirmation” Wike said
