2027: My support only for President Tinubu, I didn't promise PDP won't field candidates in other elections - Wike

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has reiterated that his support for the reelection of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu remained sacrosanct, saying he never promised that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will not field candidates in governoship, National Assembly and States House of Assembly elections.

The Minister said the rainbow coalition does not have anything to do with the All Progressives Congress (APC), describing the coalition as a platform for other political parties that are pleased with the good works of the President and are supporting his reelection.

In a statement on Tuesday, by his Senior Special Assistant to the Minister on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, the FCT Minister, who said he won't be the one to help people to win elections in their States, noted that "politics is local and those having problems in their States should resolve them instead of using the reelection of the President to whip up sentiments."

Wike pointed out that he never met with the All Progressives Congress (APC) before himself and other members of the G5 supported the President in 2023, and that for 2027, his support is for the president only.

The Minister said politics is no longer about coming from fourth position to be governor, it is about genuinely mobilising support and winning elections from the polling units.

He asked; "In Imo State under Governor Hope Uzodinma, how did APC win two senate seats in 2023, in an election held the same day with that of the President and APC had less than 15 percent in the presidential election? Was it rainbow coalition? Were the voters confused?

"Was it rainbow coalition that also made APC to win National Assembly elections in Ebonyi, Abia and Enugu States where the President did not have ten percent of the votes?

"If in 2023, the voters in Imo, Abia, Enugu and Ebonyi voted APC in the Senatorial election and voted another party in the presidential election, they won't be confused in 2027 provided we all support the president genuinely this time?

The Minister urged all stakeholders to put the presidential election first, saying; "after the President must have been reelected, we can all go and face elections in our States."

"What I said and stand for is that I will mobilise support for the reelection of the President. I never promised anyone that PDP will not field candidates to contest governorship, National Assembly and States House of Assembly elections.

"Most importantly, rainbow coalition has nothing to do with the APC. Rather, it is own way of mobilising support accross political parties for Mr President, who has done well to deserve a second term," he said.

Nice one brave Wike. The only man with ball.

Asiwaju Tinubu must give chief Wike a special recognition award for his boldness and courageous role in his presidential election.

APC should not overdo.

Wike knows what he sees in Tinubu & it's as clear as a crystal.

Let those people continue to support a candidate with blurry vision.

Am sure is not the same u thing u see because what u see is hunger and sufegr but wike sees billions but shaa pray say make eledumare no give u freedom as an omoluabi u come exchange am for 30 k for ewa agoyin ...because my man na very big curse cos e sure me die say u never see 100k once for apshit hand for ur life u like wike

I do not understand the jargons you wrote.

Is this Jamaican English or what?

This old monkey of a man thinks Yekini is not a devil like him!

Yekini and wike are demons!

Wike Downfall is Already Loading......
He Should Start Preparing to Join El Rufai in Prison

Wike no send anybody message....I just like his wickedness

Dog is now eating dog. Inhouse roforofo fight is a family affair. Fingers crossed

Them don remember this one

Tinubu's selfishness is about to destroy the APC. Striking a deal with Wike to destroy the major opposition party in the country not to field a candidate but restricting it to only the presidential elections, while begging the governors to endorse and support your own re-election. The governors are beginning to see that Tinubu needs them more than they need him. This became clear to them after seeing how the gubernatorial elections in Osun went. Wike has more to say today on Arise PrimeTime. APC is going down, courtesy of Wike. We love to see it!

Ghenghen!! wike want start war for APC camp. Please, the opposition should not get carried away with this drama and focus on their own campaign aggressively.

Elrufai is not in prison. No court has found him guilty. He is being extrajudiciously detained by Tinubu after making him president because he fears Elrufai will unmake him as president if he lets him participate in the 2027 elections. It's what a Paul Biya wannabe will do.

But on a more serious note, I can bet you that this man can go to any length to make sure Tinubu wins.
Not because he loves Tinubu, but because he is afraid of his own shadows.

PDP supported Wike in 2019 and 2023 they fought him.
APC supported Wike in 2023, now in 2027, they are fighting him.

Tinubu if u support Wike in 2027, in 2031 u will learn the lesson

Dis Wike sabi insult person no be small...4th position to be a governor...such a joke on d judiciary

Wike is always fighting this or that..

he has done that already na . bullion vans manufacturing company is now in River state

Before nko? Uzodinma should focus on delivering his state…..which he has never delivered.

There is a reason why they are fighting when Tinubu is out of the country. They want to know who is in charge. It's all about power. Remember the last time Shettima reminded Wike who the leader of each state is. You can't convince me of any democratic nonsense Tinubu used to masquerade himself as. There is a reason Wike is working for him.

Didn't they say he is a democrat? A builder of men? A visionary? That man is just a greedy old man. Who was it that said if you let Tinubu in, he will grab more than he can take? Think about being a landlord of Lagos and Rivers 🤡

The greedy can never be satisfied. What they condemned when they were in opposition, now they are doing it.

Those who wanted to rewrite his story just made me chuckle. Guy didn't want Fashola serve a second term simply because he wanted to be President. He didn't want anyone to have a record to be compared to him or outshine him. They are just lucky Fashola did not show craze like Ambode did, someone they eventually sent away under the guise of GAC. They now claimed that he made Fashola, he built Lagos, Ambode did not follow master plan. You see how their stories are not consistent. They then called Osinbajo a betrayer. These ones are lords and serfs. Those who refuse to learn history are doomed to repeat it

Tinubu only concern is second term winning. Wike should should know that immediately after 2027 election what happened to El- Rufai is coming. President is using him to secure Rivers, and divides PDP and other top guns. Abuja is known not to like APC since Buhari regime. So wike as fct minister is a strategy to add Abuja vote to his pocket.

A leopard can never change its spots. Once Tinubu's cup is full, Wike will show him shege. I hope Tinubu knows what he is doing while playing this game with Wike 😎

confusing break bone

Data Bois and girls will be confused on who to support.

The governors or their Lord and master wike

The greedy can never be satisfied. We know. AMINDA once wrote that one day Wike will tell the world that he made Tinubu president and that day is not far from us. You can hear what he said about Osun election. If they called him, e for help them run am. That was a way of telling Tinubu that he wasted his time sending all the APC governors and Senate President there 😂
Can you hear how APC governors are now telling us the number of votes they will win by? Did anyone have the effrontery to tell us how many millions of votes they will have in the past? The wicked shall never rest

SixSeven:
Wike has no option than to back Tinubu is what it sounds like. Atiku is Tinubu's opponent, Wike also became Atiku's opponent. Tinubu found that my enemy's enemy could be my friend, this is why he can't let him go. He is very useful for his type of politics. Buying houses for judges and trying to wet ground 🤡 Corruption 26

Repost

He learned it from the so-called democratic or progressive man 🤡, his boss, Concensus. For Bola to stake his head in Rivers and declare a state of emergency but he never did in Plateau, Niger and everywhere else there has been mass killing is proof that politics is his favorite subject, not governance. Wike is proof that Bola is not a true democrat and the power he has today is for his selfish reasons. This further confirms that Tinubu did not win Rivers state so he has to use force in the state.

Tinubu's path to victory is

1. Voter apathy

2. Divided opposition

3. Force/threat (he has been using this in Lagos for long but with federal resources, he now has governors like Okpebolo, Wike, SP Akpabio who's always assuring that he will win and others to threaten people to vote him or else)

4. Money (what's your price? This is why he and Atiku are two sides of a coin. In a poor corrupt country with little morals, many are willing to sell their convictions for the highest bidder)

5. Propaganda (gaslighting, see how they celebrate the uncompleted coastal road, they will accept no responsibility but blame everyone else using religion, tribe and other distraction from the main issue). The way they counted fake millions of vote is gaslight in. Gaslighting is the manipulation by psychological means of a person (or group) which causes them to doubt themselves, their capabilities or their sense of reality.



Can you now see the big picture on why Bola holds on to Wike? Lagos, Kano and Rivers are important states. The NNPP governor that went to APC and they thought they had it in the bag, the Lagos government they have been holding for years and now Rivers will still not give them the rigging they desire.

Rainbow coalition may lule gbigbi. It is funny Wike is so afraid.

When you have political parties without a practical ideologies that's why we have a wike who's neither black or white. He's not an APC card carrying member but he has a say in the party this is a man who ruined his own party PDP

Game on, this will be a huge test for the President.

Helinuse:

Not because he loves Tinubu, but because he is afraid of his own shadows.

Unbeknownst to him that Tinubu himself will move against him if he wins because Tinubu is insecure and hates to be challenged. He also hates admitting that he was helped by anyone and quickly moves against those who help him in order to rewrite history and continue to maintain a false god-like persona. It's a sign of chronic low self-esteem. This is why if you look back in time, you can barely pinpoint anyone who you can say has helped Tinubu in the past. From Afenifere to several others in the past. He moved against them all.
