Despite the fact that Nigeria’s next presidential election is still a long way from now, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr Nyesom Wike, has dropped a bombshell to say the 2027 elections would be a walk in the park for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The minister who spoke during a thanksgiving service by Senator Barinada Mpigi in Koroma, Tai Local Government Area of Rivers State on Sunday, said no opposition party would challenge the ruling party come 2027.

According to him, the APC and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are united in Rivers state and have formed a strong alliance.

“With the forces we have I don’t know of anybody who can challenge us. I can tell you it is like tomorrow is 2027. For me it is still very far, I can’t wait. The two leaders of the party, APC is here, PDP is here; where can you find that leadership unity? Which state? It is only in Rivers that you can find that unity.

“And that is what many people don’t like. When they see people united and working together, they find how to make sure they are divided but since we know, we have refused to be divided.

“This is the only state where the leading party will win for president, the opposition party will take the national assembly in an election that was done at the same time, same minute and same hour. That is uncommon,” Wike said.

Wike also canvassed support for President Bola Tinubu’s economic reform policies in the country, saying that it won’t be easy to turn the fortunes of the nation around in a short time frame.

“God in His infinite mercies will continue to give us the strength to work together to support Mr President. So many people in this country hardly remember yesterday, we are in a rush – we have a problem, but have you asked yourself how was yesterday? Decisions of Mr President, if we are patient by the end of the day, we will get to where we want to get to,” he said.
