Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has stated that the impressive work of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, particularly in the FCT, has undermined the coalition efforts of key opposition figures aiming to challenge the Tinubu administration in the upcoming 2027 elections.
Wike’s remarks came during the commissioning of the Maitama-Gishiri Bridge and the Katampe, Jahi, and Mabushi link roads in Abuja. He emphasized, “The coalition is destined to fail, and it has already failed. Your good works have effectively dismantled it.”
Despite the opposition, which includes notable figures like former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, attempting to unify against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), internal crises within the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) pose significant challenges.
Wike expressed his continued support for Tinubu’s administration, asserting that under Tinubu’s leadership, contractors now have renewed confidence in the government, further weakening the opposition coalition’s prospects.
