The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has said he does not need a role in the All Progressives Congress campaign council before working for and ensuring that President Bola Tinubu wins the 2027 election.

Wike, who spoke on Saturday after inspecting some ongoing projects in the FCT, according to the News Agency of Nigeria, said being a member of the campaign council did not guarantee electoral victory.

His comment came a few hours after Tinubu unveiled the presidential campaign council, naming former Zamfara State governor, Abdulaziz Yari, as the Director-General and Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, as secretary.

The FCT minister said political relevance in presidential elections was based on a politician’s ability to win their states, local governments and wards.
