The viral media report that some leaders of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had been pushimg the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, to contest for the workplace of President in 2027, has been debunked by the Minister’s media aide, who described it as “one other lie from idle minds who don’t have anything to contribute to the event of the nation.”
Lere Olayinka, Senior Particular Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the FCT Minister, stated in a press release on Friday that “so far as Wike is worried, it’s President Bola Ahmed Tinubu until 2031.”
The FCT Minister’s Spokesperson stated it was shameful that the “pull Wike down” parts couldn’t cause past such kindergarten ways, including that it was clear that they wanted higher brains to suppose for them.
“Wike doesn’t perform in hiding. He does what he says, and says what he does.
“The Minister has made it clear the place he stands so long as the 2027 Presidential election is worried, he’s with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” Olayinka stated.
Olayinka said that the one assembly that came about on August 20, 2025, was that of PDP stakeholders from Southern a part of Nigeria, and the aim was the assembly scheduled for Lagos on August 21, 2025, by some parts to rubberstamp a call to micro-zone celebration positions zoned to the South.
“End result of the assembly was made public by way of a press assertion titled; ‘Re: Purported Assembly Of PDP Southern Zoning Consultative Summit,’ signed by State Party Chairmen of Imo, Abia, Cross River, Akwa Ibom and Rivers, Austin Nwachukwu, Abraham Amah, Barr. Venatuis Ikem, Rt. Hon Aniekan Akpan and Aaron Chukwuemeka respectively, in addition to the Nationwide Vice Chairman (South-East), Hon. Chidiebere Egwu Goodluck and Minority Chief of the Home of Representatives, Hon O. Okay. Chinda.
“Others who signed the press assertion had been Senators Igwe Nwagu, Mao Ohuabunwa, George Sekibo, Mike Ama Nnachi, former Nationwide Secretary, Rt. Hon. Onwe S. Onwe, Deputy Nationwide Authorized Adviser, Barr. Okechukwu Osuoha, former Ebonyi State Authorized Adviser, Barr. Mudi Erhenede and others.
“Clearly, the above names had been picked from the press assertion revealed in all main newspapers and aired on nationwide tv stations, to advance the newest mischief.
“We all know their intention although. However sadly for them, and the platform they’re utilizing to propagate their idle plots, the particular person and character of the FCT Minister is thought to everybody – he doesn’t do something in hiding.
“He has stated it clearly that from now until 2031, it’s on the mandate of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu that he’ll stand.
“To make sure the success of the President’s reelection, Wike will proceed to ship on the Renewed Hope Agenda within the FCT by actualising the visions of the President for a federal capital metropolis that may compete with different capital cities on this planet when it comes to infrastructural growth,” Olayinka said.
