The Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has resolved to support the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The next presidential election in the country is slated for 2027, and there are suggestions in the political quarters that Tinubu will seek re-election despite his unpopularity among some Nigerians.
For instance, the Governor of Bauchi state,Bala Mohammed on Thursday, said that the north will ensure that President Tinubu’s efforts to return to Aso Rock, Nigeria’s seat of power, is truncated. Mohammed is among the presidential hopefuls, as he had recently declared his interest in the nation’s top job.
President Tinubu has yet to declared publicly whether he would run, but feelers from his camp indicate that he is nursing the ambition to take another shot at the nation’s top job.
The minister, who was compensated with the FCT plum job after assisting Tinubu to win the 2023 Presidential election, said he will support him again.
“I have no regrets, I have no apologies. If the opportunity comes I will do the same thing,” Wike said on Thursday.
The magazine reports that the Minister, accompanied with his two sons paid President Tinubu a yuletide homage yesterday, in his Bourdillon, Ikoyi Lagos home.
According to analysts, the visit highlights the strong bond between the two top politicians ahead the 2027 presidential election.
Recall that President Tinubu said in an interview this week that Wike is ‘a good man’ and not a liability to his administration despite the controversies that have trailed him since he became FCT Minister last year.
