It will be difficult to unseat Tinubu in 2027, says Wike

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, says it will be difficult for opposition parties to unseat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.

 

Wike said this in Abuja on Tuesday after inspecting some ongoing projects in the territory, citing what he described as Tinubu’s record of infrastructure development.

 

He said the volume of achievements under the administration leaves little room for detractors to challenge the ruling party’s record.

 

He said the projects are part of the campaign for the administration and that residents of Abuja have seen the infrastructure provided.

 

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the minister inspected the ongoing construction of Inner Southern Motorway from Area 1 roundabout to Games Village bridges and Southern Parkway linking Oladipo Diya Road with Ring Road II.

 

He also inspected the ongoing construction of Arterial Road S1 to connect Ring Road II to the FCT Fire Service Station in the Kaura and Gaduwa district corridors.

 

Wike referenced the rapid transformation of the Southern Parkway project, saying a lot has been achieved within six to seven months.

 

He pledged that the FCT administration is on track to inaugurate at least 10 high impact projects before the general elections scheduled for January 16, 2027.
