Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has backed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to secure victory in 2027, dismissing suggestions of a possible run-off as unrealistic.
Wike said political forecasts that Tinubu might place third in a future election were misguided.“My friend goofed. Since I know Tinubu will come third, he should have also provided who will be first and second. Which run-off? Who to who? It’s not possible. I will put a bet that if Tinubu contests, he will win squarely.”
He added that Nigerian opposition leaders should focus on building strategy instead of endlessly disputing elections.“Tell me which election in this country people did not accuse the winner? Mention one. Apart from Jonathan, who conceded defeat, no one has. I don’t like excuses. What I cannot do, I will say it is not possible. But people must stop this complain.”
