FCT Minister Nyesom Wike denies claims circulating online that he is backing Labour Party (LP) candidate Ishaku Abbo for Adamawa State governorship. Across the reports, Wike says the endorsement post is fake and that he has not endorsed Abbo.
The outlets present the dispute as a response by Wike to a viral social media story about a political endorsement. Legit.ng, The Punch, and Vanguard all focus on Wike’s denial, with each describing the claim as unverified and emphasizing that Wike would clarify any support directly rather than through the viral post. The consistent theme is that Wike publicly disputes the authenticity of the endorsement and distances himself from the allegation ahead of the next governorship election.
While the core facts align, the framing differs slightly: one outlet stresses Wike’s intent to announce any support himself, while the others underline that he did not endorse the candidate at all.
