The FCT Minister, Barr Nysome Wike, has fired back at the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, as he openly pledged his support to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s reelection in 2027.
Wike made this known on Monday in Abuja during a Media Chat to clear insinuations by PDP about his stance on APC and Asiwaju’s reelection, particularly in Rivers State in 2027.
Wike said, ” I will support Asiwaju. The way we win other elections, that’s the way we will win. I’m not a liability. I’m an asset.” Whether you agree, or you don’t agree, I’m an asset. “Whether you want to die, you don’t want to die, I’m an asset. It does no matter if you like me or don’t like me, your likeness has nothing to make me…I’m an asset to making sure that Tinubu wins second tenure.”
The minister thanked God that he did not support PDP and the party lost.
The minister, refering to he 2023 campaign in Rivers State, said, “If I supported PDP, and they won, they would have taken the glory, but we say okay, we will not support PDP. They failed. They didn’t even get 10%.”
The minister noted that he refused to attend the PDP National Executive Council, NEC, Meeting because it is illegal and so cannot be associated with it.
