Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has said the wave of infrastructure development across Abuja and its satellite communities will significantly influence voting behaviour in favour of President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general election.
Speaking on Tuesday after inspecting ongoing projects across the FCT, Wike said recent political developments in the territory already point to a gradual shift in electoral sentiment towards the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
He cited the February 21 Area Council elections, in which the APC secured five of the six chairmanship seats, as evidence of changing political dynamics in the nation’s capital.
“For the first time, the ruling party won in places where it had never won before. What residents want is governance that impacts their daily lives, and that is what President Tinubu is delivering,” Wike said.
According to the minister, the administration’s development strategy, particularly the extension of infrastructure projects to rural communities and satellite towns, is driving public support.
