2027 Presidency: Wike Declares Self Tinubu's FCT Campaign 'Commander'
Wike says the coalition will mobilize APC and PDP leaders to widen support for Tinubu and back National Assembly candidates.
- On Tuesday, Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike launched a verbal assault on African Democratic Congress vice-presidential candidate Rotimi Amaechi, responding to Amaechi's claims that only "mad men" and "thieves" would vote for President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
- Amaechi made the remarks last Thursday during a town hall meeting in Benin, Edo State, claiming that voting for the incumbent president in 2027 would be a "wrong decision" and suggesting only supporters lack sanity.
- Wike labeled Amaechi a "bloody thief" and "lunatic," questioning his mental stability while challenging the former Rivers State governor's moral standing over alleged unaccounted multi-million-dollar projects during his tenure.
- The FCT minister called on the Independent National Electoral Commission to sanction Amaechi for what he described as "irresponsible and inciting" rhetoric, warning that personal attacks should not go unchallenged.
- Meanwhile, Wike continues promoting his cross-party Rainbow Coalition, which unites All Progressives Congress and Peoples Democratic Party members to facilitate President Tinubu's 2027 re-election bid and secure electoral victories.
