Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu’s bid for re-election in 2027 will be easier than his 2023 campaign.

Wike stated this on Monday during town hall meetings with the Rumueme and Apara kingdoms in Obio-Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State.

The former Rivers State governor said he was committed to securing a second term for Tinubu and urged residents of the state to vote massively for the President in the 2027 presidential election.

“Each day I sleep, I am thinking about the president’s re-election. When I am eating, I think about the president’s re-election. Everything I am doing now is about the president’s re-election,” Wike said.

He urged Rivers residents to put aside sentiments and support Tinubu, citing what he described as the President’s recognition of the state through development projects and the appointment of Rivers indigenes to strategic positions in his administration.

“Let us forget sentiment and vote for the person who has recognised the people of Rivers State with dividends of democracy and with several appointments.

“I know the re-election of Tinubu in 2027 will be easier than that of 2023. We should appreciate Tinubu and ensure he gets a massive number of votes. We can do it,” he said.

Wike further highlighted what he described as various developmental projects undertaken by the Tinubu administration in Rivers State, as well as the appointment of indigenes of the state to key positions in the Federal Government.
