As the race to the 2027 general elections draws nearer, the Federal Capital Territory, Minister Nyesom Wike has promised to ensure that President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, wins in both Rivers State and FCT Abuja.
Speaking on Wednesday during a media chat with some selected journalists in Abuja, Wike said that he is in charge of the political structure in Rivers State and the Federal Capital Territory, calling the general commander.
“It is certain that I will deliver two states, FCT and Rivers for Tinubu. You don’t need a governor to be in charge, I’m the general commander of the political structure in Rivers.
“In Rivers, I’m in charge. So also the FCT”, the former governor of Rivers State said.
Wike adduced his dominance in Rivers and Abuja to the loyalty of all major political parties and structures in the state.
The remarks of the former Rivers State Governor come in the face of ongoing political realignments under the rainbow coalition in the oil-rich state ahead of the 2027 general elections.
