Wike to Tinubu: “I Got You”Ahead of 2027

Wike: "I'm With Tinubu 100% for 2027, Whatever Happens"

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has come out again to declare his full support for President Bola Tinubu's re-election bid in 2027.

Speaking in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Wike said he knows backing Tinubu comes with risks. But he's not bothered. He even said if Tinubu loses to Atiku or Peter Obi, he'll be the first to face the heat.

Wike admitted the political atmosphere is tense and that his open support has made him a target for opposition attacks. Still, he said he has no regrets. According to him, he believes in Tinubu's leadership and the direction he's taking the country.

The Bigger Picture  
Wike's statement shows just how serious politics is getting ahead of 2027. Supporting a "controversial" figure like Tinubu isn't easy, and there are real consequences. But Wike says he's ready to take them.

He also said all the criticism and attempts to pull him down haven't worked. His loyalty is firm, and he hopes it encourages others in the party to stand strong too.

With heavyweights like Atiku and Obi in the race, the 2027 election is already looking like a tough fight. Wike's bold declaration is likely to shape conversations and even influence how campaigns play out.

Bottom line: Wike is sending a clear message — he's with Tinubu, and he's not backing down.
