Minister Nyesom Wike Vows Resignation if Tinubu Loses FCT and Rivers in 2027

In a bold declaration made at a meeting with leaders and members of the Apo Mechanics and Traders Association, Minister Nyesom Wike (Punch Newspapers) stated that he will step down from his position on January 17, 2027, should President Tinubu lose the election in both FCT and Rivers State. The Minister’s stance is a clear sign of his support for Tinubu’s candidacy. However, it also raises questions about the political landscape should Tinubu not secure victories in these crucial regions. It remains unclear if other cabinet members will follow suit should the same scenario unfold. This development adds another layer to the intense political tension building up towards the 2027 elections.
