Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has promised to reward councillors with N10 million each if they successfully deliver their respective political wards for President Bola Tinubu and other All Progressives Congress candidates in the 2027 general elections.
Wike made the promise on Monday during a stakeholders’ meeting of the Rainbow Coalition in Kwali Area Council of the FCT, where he charged councillors to mobilise residents, youth groups and community associations to ensure victory for the APC.
The minister, who has thrown his weight behind Tinubu’s re-election bid, said councillors who secured victory for the party in their wards would receive the financial reward.
“Any councillor that delivers his ward will get N10 million reward. Therefore, go and meet your leaders, go and meet your youth groups, and go and consult with associations. Let’s deliver our ward to Mr President,” he said.
Wike also endorsed former FCT Senator, Philip Aduda, for the Senate seat and Danladi Chiya for the Abuja South Federal Constituency ahead of the 2027 elections.
Expressing confidence in the APC’s chances, the minister declared that Kwali, Gwagwalada and Abaji Area Councils were firmly behind Tinubu.
“I will go to sleep tonight because I know Kwali, Gwagwalada, and Abaji are 100 per cent for APC,” Wike said.
