Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has declared that President Bola Tinubu should secure far more than the constitutionally required 25 per cent of votes in the territory in the 2027 presidential election.

Wike made the declaration during a media parley in Abuja, arguing that infrastructure projects, security improvements and engagement with indigenous communities would strengthen support for Tinubu.

According to a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, the minister said former senators, ex-members of the National Assembly and former area council chairmen had recently rallied behind his administration despite their different political affiliations.

He cited consultations with traditional rulers and community leaders as part of his administration’s efforts to bring governance closer to residents.

He also said at least two police stations had been constructed in each of the FCT’s six area councils to address security concerns.
