I’m Waiting for PDP to Presidency To South — Wike

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has denied rumors that he may oppose President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election if the Peoples Democratic Party zones its presidential ticket to the South.

He reiterated his devotion to Tinubu’s government, claiming that he had no intention of running against the guy he was serving.

Speaking in an interview with BBC News Pidgin on Saturday, Wike declared, “I will not contest. Why will I compete against someone I’m working for?”

Reaffirming his support for Tinubu, Wike said there was now no significant opposition figure capable of unseating the President.

“They said they would zone it to the South, let them zone first. When we reach to the bridge, we will know how to cross it,” he added.

Wike, a former governor of Rivers State, also addressed the simmering political strife in his own state, notably between him and suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

He accused unknown political figures for engineering the issue between him and Fubara.

Wike added, “That one is not a battle. He (Fubara) is my kid, he is my son, why would I fight with him? I’m simply fighting against individuals who want to take something they did not work for. When you don’t beat them, they will assume you… Defeat them to the last stage.”

The FCT Minister accused foreign powers of exploiting Fubara and pledged to continue battling them until they are politically neutralised.

“Now, they are ashamed because they are being defeated. They are the ones pushing Fubara,” he said.
