The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike yesterday tipped President Bola Tinubu to secure a landslide victory in the federal capital during the 2027 presidential election.
Speaking after inspecting several ongoing infrastructure projects in Abuja, he said Tinubu’s infrastructural development in the capital will transform into massive votes for him during the election.
According to him, the All Progressives Congress ( APC) will break the jinx of a sitting President not winning elections in Abuja. Wike said: “What the people want is simple, they want to feel the impact of governance. “It is not about magic. Nigerians are interested in good governance, infrastructure, electricity and improved living conditions.”
He said no fewer than 20 projects would be ready for inauguration, adding that the figure could rise as some projects were still being finalised. The minister said“I said not less than 20 projects, but it may even be more than 20 because I did not include the water projects at Bwari and Karu.
There are also projects in AMAC and Bwari Area Councils.” Wike listed additional road projects, including Gomani to Yangoji and Kuje to Gwagwalada Road, stressing that the spread of infrastructure across satellite towns marked a new phase of development in the FCT.
