The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr. Nyesom Wike, has explained why he could not have served as the Director-General (DG) of President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 Presidential Campaign Council, saying he is not a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and does not want to risk losing Rivers State and the FCT in the 2027 general election.

Wike mocked a former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi; former Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki; former Governor of Sokoto State, Senator Aminu Tambuwal; and former Governor of Plateau State, Senator Simon Lalong, for losing their states while serving as DGs of presidential campaign councils at different times.
