Quick Read
Wike also asserted that Peter Obi would pose no threat to Tinubu in 2027, even though he had six million votes in 2023. He noted that the political dynamics had since changed.

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, says he can place a bet with confidence that President Bola Tinubu will win the 2027 presidential election.
Wike made this statement on Monday during a media chat in Abuja, in response to the remarks made by former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, who claimed that Tinubu would come a distant third in the election.
El-Rufai, in an interview with Channels TV on Sunday, had said, “Tinubu will be third in the 2027 election. I have done my maths, and I can tell you Tinubu has no pathway to win. The worst-case scenario is that there will not be any winner in the first ballot.
“Ask yourself, is your life better now under President Tinubu? There is even no pretense of good intentions. We are free to assess our government after two weeks.”
However, Wike, in his reaction, said El-Rufai’s projections and calculations were flawed. He wondered why the former Kaduna governor did not specify who would come first and second in the election.
Wike also asserted that Peter Obi would pose no threat to Tinubu in 2027, even though he had six million votes in 2023. He noted that the political dynamics had since changed.
