Monday, December 29, 2025 -The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has warned politicians that joining the All Progressives Congress (APC) or openly professing loyalty to President Bola Tinubu does not automatically guarantee a second-term ticket.
The former Rivers state governor issued the warning while
addressing supporters during a political engagement in Emohua Local Government
Area of Rivers state as part of his ongoing consultations across the state.
The minister, who was received by the Chairman of Emohua
Local Government Area, Chidi Lloyd, alongside traditional ruler Sergeant Awuse
and other party leaders, used the occasion to reinforce his long-held position
on political loyalty and agreements. Addressing the crowd, Wike said
‘’The issue
is not whether you are supporting Tinubu. That one, we have taken tops long
time ago so Tinubu issue is not an issue again. Nobody should come and tell me
I am for Tinubu, on your mandate we shall stand. Who is not for Tinubu in
Rivers state? That cannot give you any ticket oo!''
His statement comes after his successor, Governor Fubara and
others defected to the ruling party. Fubara's defection came weeks after his
clash and reconciliation with WIke.
