Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), says he will inaugurate and lead campaign machinery for President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election in both Abuja (FCT) and Rivers State. Wike makes the announcement after inspecting ongoing work on the Kuje–Gwagwalada road in Abuja.
Across the outlets, the core details are consistent: Wike indicates he is set to formally launch the campaign team and oversee its operations across the two locations. Vanguard and Daily Post both describe the inspection occurring in Abuja on Friday, linking the announcement to his visit to the Kuje–Gwagwalada road dualisation project and its continuing phases. Premium Times similarly reports that Wike plans to inaugurate the campaign team for Tinubu in the FCT and Rivers. The reports largely differ only in wording and minor details about where the inspection was described and how the project was referenced, rather than in the main claim about his campaign role.
