Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike says the 2027 presidential election has already been concluded and that no one can stop President Bola Tinubu’s re-election. Wike makes the comments while speaking to journalists in Abuja on Friday.
Both outlets report that Wike also takes a swipe at Dele Momodu, an African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain, whom he links to efforts to attract Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke to the opposition party. The reporting frames Wike’s remarks against wider claims by some observers that the 2027 general elections are already settled in favour of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). The Daily Post and Nigerian Eye focus on Wike’s certainty about the election outcome, with the Nigerian Eye adding more detail about his remarks aimed at Momodu and the alleged political manoeuvring involving Adeleke.
No outlet provides independent confirmation of Wike’s assertion; the reports present it as Wike’s public position and comments made in the context of ongoing political debate.
