The Peoples Democratic Party, New Nigeria Peoples Party, Coalition of United Political Parties, and others have strongly criticised the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, for openly declaring his plan to lead President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election campaign.

‎During a media chat on Monday in Abuja, Wike described himself as a key asset in helping Tinubu win the 2027 election. He insisted he was not involved in any anti-party activities and challenged the PDP to suspend him if they believed otherwise.

‎However In response to what Wike said, the party’s Deputy National Youth Leader, Timothy Osadolor, urged Nigerians to disregard Wike’s comments, stating that the party would soon enforce its rules against the minister.
