Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, expressed confidence that the upcoming 2027 elections will be easy for his political camp due to the alliances they have formed.
During a Thanksgiving service held by Senator Barinada Mpigi in Koroma, Tai Local Government Area of Rivers State, on Sunday, the minister talked about his preparedness for the 2027 elections.
“With the forces we have I don’t know of anybody who can challenge us. I can tell you it is like tomorrow is 2027. For me it is still very far, I can’t wait. The two leadership of the party, APC is here, PDP is here; where can you find that leadership unity? Which state? It is only in Rivers that you can find that unity.
“And that is what many people don’t like. When they see people united and working together, they find how to make sure they are divided but since we know, we have refused to be divided.
“This is the only state where the leading party will win for president, the opposition party will take national assembly in election that was done the same time, same minute and same hour. That is uncommon,” Wike said.
Wike also urged people to support President Bola Tinubu’s economic reform policies in the country. He mentioned that it will be challenging to quickly improve the nation’s situation.
“God in His infinite mercies will continue to give us the strength to work together to support Mr President. So many people in this country hardly remember yesterday, we are in a rush – we have problem, but have you asked yourself how was yesterday? Decisions of Mr President, if we are patient by the end of the day, we will get to where we want to get to,” he said.
Other dignitaries who attended the event included the Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Minister of Works Dave Umahi, and Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly Martin Amaewhule.
