Fresh political fire has erupted as FCT Minister Nyesom Wike openly told former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to forget about the 2027 presidential race.
Speaking during a project inspection in Abuja, Wike made it clear that Atiku has no chance in the next election.
According to him, the former VP should shift his ambition to 2031, even joking that Nigerians will still “encourage” him to run then.
This bold statement is what Nigerians are rushing to see right now. The tension is rising fast.
Reactions are pouring in from all sides. You may want to see what sparked this political firestorm.
Wike also took a swipe at Atiku for constantly criticizing President Bola Tinubu, insisting the current administration is performing better than when Atiku was in power.
On another issue, the minister denied claims that he blocked the ADC from using a venue for its convention. He said investigations are ongoing and promised to expose anyone responsible if found guilty.
He didn’t stop there. Wike warned the ADC to fix its internal problems instead of blaming others, boldly adding that the party has no chance of winning.
As political tension builds ahead of 2027, Nigerians are left wondering. Is this confidence or a sign of deeper battles coming?
