Wike Vows To Resign If Tinubu Loses FCT And Rivers In 2027

If President Bola Tinubu loses both Rivers State and the nation’s capital in the 2027 election, Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike has promised to step down by January.

This was revealed by Wike on Wednesday during a meeting with the Apo Mechanics and Traders Association’s leadership and members in Abuja.
According to Wike, his ability to help Tinubu achieve political outcomes in his main spheres of influence will determine whether or not he remains a cabinet minister.

The former governor of Rivers State claims that he is unfit to serve in the FCT because he has not produced tangible electoral success.

He said, “If I cannot deliver where I work, then I’m not worthy to be here.

“If I lose FCT, I’m not supposed to be FCT Minister. By January 17, 2027, I will announce my resignation as FCT Minister should the President lose in Rivers State and the FCT.

“Let us be clear on direction: for the Presidency, it is Bola Ahmed Tinubu! For the Senate, Philip Aduda is a man of the people, unlike those who only appear on television. The two House of Representatives candidates we are supporting are also here. They are former Area Council chairmen.

“In the FCT, we are running a unified coalition across parties to deliver results.

“If I cannot deliver FCT as Minister, then I am not qualified to hold this office. We have a firm agreement, and today is the final affirmation.”

We will certainly hold Wike to his word if voters in the FCT and Rivers do not vote for Tinubu in 2027.
