Supreme Court: Tension in Atiku’s camp as Wike reveals what he will do for Tinubu in 2027 election

The minister of the Federal Capital Territory, (FCT) Nyesom Wike, has pledged to mobilize electoral support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the next election, saying those who scored 2,000 in the 2023 elections would score next to nothing in 2027.

The minister made the declaration on Thursday in Abuja, while playing host to leaders of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) from Rivers State, led by the national vice chairman, South-South, Victor Giadom.

Wike also said he had no regrets about supporting President Tinubu in the last general election because he was out to ensure equity and justice, adding that he owes no one an apology, Vanguard reported.

Promising to carry the Rivers APC and all Nigerians along, the minister said he would never discriminate against anyone on the basis of religion, ethnicity or political affiliations.

Wike said: “I am sure in the next election, those who scored 2,000 would not get 50 votes again because we have nothing to give anybody again because our votes would go for President Bola Tinubu.”

This statement by Wike will further fuel the internal crisis in the PDP, especially in Atiku Abubakar's camp, and heighten the call for his suspension from the opposition party.

In what could be described as a shocking but interesting development, is the recent action of a governor in the opposition party.

Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa state, who is a member of the PDP, was captured in a video rejoicing with President Tinubu after the Supreme Court judgment.

He walked up to the nation’s number one citizen and shook hands with him.
