The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has declared that nobody can challenge his political party in Nigeria’s 2027 elections.
The former Rivers State governor said this on Sunday in Koroma, Tai Local Government Area during the thanksgiving service of Senator Barinada Mpigi.
“With the forces we have I don’t know of anybody who can challenge us. I can tell you it is like tomorrow is 2027. For me it is still very far, I can’t wait. The two leadership of the party, APC is here, PDP is here; where can you find that leadership unity? Which state? It is only in Rivers that you can find that unity.
“And that is what many people don’t like. When they see people united and working together, they find how to make sure they are divided but since we know, we have refused to be divided,” Minister Wike said.
“This is the only state where the leading party will win for president, the opposition party will take national assembly in election that was done the same time, same minute and same hour. That is uncommon.”
The minister also pleaded for support for the economic reform initiatives of President Bola Tinubu, pointing out that it will not be simple to turn around the country’s fortunes in a short time.
Wike said, “God in His infinite mercies will continue to give us the strength to work together to support Mr President.
“So many people in this country hardly remember yesterday, we are in a rush – we have problem, but have you asked yourself how was yesterday? Decisions of Mr President, if we are patient by the end of the day, we will get to where we want to get to.”
