FCT Minister Says He Is Thinking About Tinubu’s Re-Election Every Day
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has said he is deeply concerned about President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
Wike said he believes he could become one of the first political targets of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Labour Party figure Peter Obi if Tinubu loses the election.
‘They Will Come After Me’
Speaking during his media engagement in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Wike said he would not sit back and allow Atiku or Obi to defeat Tinubu in 2027.
He said his political future could be affected by the outcome of the election because of his support for the incumbent president.
Wike has remained one of the prominent members of the Peoples Democratic Party supporting Tinubu despite his continued membership of the opposition party.
