Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), says President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid occupies his thoughts every time.
Wike spoke on Monday during town hall meetings with the
Rumueme and Apara kingdoms in Obio-Akpor LGA of Rivers State.
The former Rivers governor said he is committed to ensuring
Tinubu secures a second term, urging the state’s people to vote in large
numbers for the president in the 2027 election.
Wike said Tinubu would have an easier path to victory in the
2027 elections than he did in 2023.
“Each day I sleep, I am thinking about the president’s
re-election. When I am eating, I think about the president’s re-election.
Everything I am doing now is about the president’s re-election,” Wike said.
“Let us forget sentiment and vote for the person who has
recognised the people of Rivers state with dividends of democracy and with
several appointments.
“I know the re-election of Tinubu in 2027 will be easier
than that of 2023. We should appreciate Tinubu and ensure he gets a massive
number of votes. We can do it.”
He said the president had brought several developments to
the state and appointed Rivers indigenes into key positions in his
administration.
The FCT minister took a swipe at Atiku Abubakar,
presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and Rotimi
Amaechi, his running mate, accusing them of deceiving Nigerians.
Wike said both politicians lack the credibility to challenge
Tinubu in the 2027 election, adding that the ADC will not secure the mandatory
25 percent votes in Rivers.
Wike also criticised Peter Obi, presidential candidate of
the Nigeria Democratic Party (NDC), describing him and other opposition
candidates as “unelectable politicians”.
The minister advised his supporters and political allies in
the state not to be distracted by internal disputes and communal disagreements.
