The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has ruled out the possibility of him contesting against President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
The former Rivers State Governor made the pledge while speaking in a television chat with journalists in Abuja on Friday, November 24, 2023.
Wike stated this while saying his main concern is to ensure that the Tinubu administration succeeds in delivering the goods for expectant Nigerians.
He showed his appreciation for the president for appointing him into his cabinet and vowed never to allow anyone crash the political structure on which Tinubu rode to the presidency.
He said:
“Tinubu made me the FCT minister and I won’t allow anybody to crumble that political structure. No! I have heard many people say they are empowering me for 2027. Even the Chief of Staff told me about this, but those are people who don’t have character. Me I have character.
“Tinubu made me minister, I have character. What will happen in 2027? I stood and I said I’m not going to support injustice. I was threatened that they will do me this and that. They tried many options, including using military Generals.”
