Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barr. Nyesom Wike has said that he is one of the assets to the Re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu come 2027 general elections.
Wike who stated this during a media chat on Monday in Abuja, disclosed that he is ready to lead Tinubu Presidential Campaign in Rivers State when the time come.
He gave assurance that the forthcoming 2027 elections will be won by Tinubu just like the previous one.
” I will support Tinubu. I will lead his campaign in Rivers State.The way we won other elections that’s the way we will win. I’m not a liability. I’m an asset. Whether you agree, you don’t agree, I’m an asset. I’m an asset to making sure that Tinubu wins second tenure.
He described some of those ganging up to form coalition in a bid to unseat President Tinubu in 2027 as bunch of failed politicians who can not even win election in their respective communities.
In particular, he mentioned the former Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi whom he said could not give his then candidate Muhammadu Buhari 25 percent votes in Rivers State.
According to Wike: ” You know, we overrate people. He was governor 2015 he couldn’t produce a successor.
“He couldn’t give his candidate, Muhammadu Buhari common 25%. He was a sitting minister in 2019, no president had ever moved with soldiers the way he came with soldiers. He said he will produced the governor. He couldn’t even produce a candidate.
” Again, his candidate, Buhari, didn’t get 25% and he was the DG of campaign. Again, in 2023 he came, okay, this time around, I’m going to support atiku in PDP. Thank God we did not support PDP. If I supported PDP and they won, he would have taken the glory but we say okay we will not support PDP. They failed. They didn’t even get 10%. So, where is his influential?
END.
