2027: I Will Resign As Minister If Tinubu Loses FCT, Rivers – Wike

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has vowed to resign from his position if President Bola Tinubu fails to secure victory in both the FCT and Rivers State during the 2027 presidential election.

Wike, who has been vocal about his support for the President’s re-election bid, stated that his continued service in the cabinet is tied to his ability to deliver these key areas for the administration.

If I lose FCT, I’m not supposed to be FCT Minister. By January 17, 2027, I will announce my resignation as FCT Minister should the President lose in Rivers State and the FCT.

The Minister emphasized that his political efforts are entirely focused on ensuring President Tinubu’s success in the upcoming polls, noting that he considers himself a political realist regarding the electoral landscape in his home state of Rivers and the nation’s capital.
