Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Tuesday, described former Minister of Transportation and vice presidential candidate of the opposition African Democratic Congress, ADC, Chibuike Amaechi, as a political liability with no electoral value in the state or the wider South-South region.
Also, Wike declared that President Bola Tinubu is the only candidate who can win Rivers State in the 2027 general election.
The minster said these at his monthly media chat monitored in Abuja. He urged political observers to discount Rivers entirely from their calculations unless they were counting votes for Tinubu.
“If anybody is counting Rivers, go now and cancel it. The only person that can count Rivers is Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. I am not talking because I want to talk; I am talking as a political realist, because I know my people,” he said.
