2027: Wike Asks PDP Members in FCT to Back Tinubu and APC Candidates

Nyesom Wike, Nigeria’s minister of the Federal Capital Territory and coordinator of Bola Tinubu’s and the APC’s presidential campaign in the FCT, urged local PDP members to support Tinubu and APC candidates in the 2027 elections. At a political stakeholders forum in Abuja, he named Senator Philip Tanimu Aduda and Dr John Gabaya and promised campaign logistics would be provided. Wike said he had been tasked with securing Tinubu’s victory in both the FCT and Rivers State, defended the removal of the fuel subsidy, and said the reforms should eventually lower living costs. He also assured FCT indigenes they would be included in upcoming appointments to the administration.
