The Minister of Federal Capital Territory, FCT has declared emphatically, that he would be leading the campaigns of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2027.
Speaking in Abuja on Monday, June 2, the former governor declared that he will lead President Bola Tinubu’s presidential campaign in Rivers State for the 2027 election.
Responding to journalists’ questions, Wike said, “I have told you this before, is it because I am in Asiwaju’s presidency?
“Are you not aware I will lead his campaign in Rivers State? You want me to say no?
Are you not aware that he (Tinubu) didn’t get up to 10 per cent here, FCT? But he will win here. Are you not aware?
“Stop asking me questions you know. Of course, you know. Is that hidden. Because I have said the South must produce the president.”
Speaking during a separate media interactive session in Abuja a week later, on June 10, Wike said, “I will lead PDP’s campaign in Rivers State.”
“I will lead the PDP campaign in Rivers in 2027. No one will take me out of this party,” he declared emphatically.
Continuing, the Minister said,”I am still in PDP. I worked hard for the party. No one has the right to question my membership. Who has done more for the party than I have?”
