The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has pledged to step down from office if President Bola Ahmed Tinubu fails to secure victory in both Rivers State and Abuja during the 2027 general elections.
Wike stated this while meeting members of the Apo Traders Association in Abuja, saying while Rivers State is his home, Abuja is where he works and he cannot afford to lose in both places.
He said; “the presidential election is on January 16, 2027. By January 17, 2027, I will announce my resignation as FCT Minister should the President lose in Rivers State and the FCT. “
