Former Rivers State Governor and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr. Nyesom Wike, has ruled out the possibility of contesting against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (PBAT) in the 2027 general elections.
Speaking in an interview with BBC News Pidgin published over the weekend, Mr. Wike made it clear that he had no such intention to contest against President Tinubu.
“I will not contest. Why will I contest against someone I’m working for?” Mr. Wike said while reaffirming his loyalty to PBAT’s administration.
According to the former Rivers State governor, no opposition candidate is currently strong enough to challenge PBAT successfully.
“I will not contest again. I can not contest against someone I am working with. Who will win except him?” Mr. Wike went on.
