Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has said he will resign if President Bola Tinubu loses the 2027 presidential election in FCT and Rivers State.
Wike made declaration Wednesday, Sept 30, 2026, during engagement with members of Apo Mechanics and Traders Association in Abuja.
He said his continued stay as FCT Minister would be tied to ability to deliver political support for Tinubu in FCT and his home state.
“If I lose FCT, I’m not supposed to be FCT Minister. By January 17, 2027, I will announce my resignation as FCT Minister should the President lose in Rivers State and the FCT,” Wike said.
Presidential election is scheduled for January 16, 2027.
Wike reaffirmed support for Tinubu’s re-election bid and said he is working to build multi-party political structure in FCT and Rivers ahead of 2027.
He has previously maintained his support for Tinubu does not mean he has joined All Progressives Congress, APC.
