Nyesom Wike Say “I No Need Role” to Deliver Tinubu Victory as 2027 Political Gbas-Gbos Don Start

Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, don make another political statement wey fit make Nigerian politicians bring out their calculators as 2027 election dey approach. Wike say he no need any official position inside President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 campaign structure before he fit help deliver victory for the President. According to him, political relevance no be by title or chairmanship; na by whether person fit deliver electoral victory where e matter.

The statement come shortly after the All Progressives Congress announced former Zamfara State Governor, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, as Director-General of Tinubu’s 2027 presidential campaign. Wike, who remains a member of the Peoples Democratic Party despite serving as FCT Minister under Tinubu, explained say APC membership alone already make formal campaign DG position impossible for am. In simple Pidgin, Wike message be: “Chairman no be the only person wey fit carry chair.”

Nyesom Wike Say Political Position No Be Everything

Nyesom Wike say he no wan enter position wey fit make am lose political ground for Rivers State. According to reports, he pointed to politicians such as former Rivers Governor Rotimi Amaechi, former Senate President Bukola Saraki, former Sokoto Governor Aminu Tambuwal and former Plateau Governor Simon Lalong, arguing that occupying big campaign positions did not automatically guarantee victory in their own states.

For Nyesom Wike, therefore, the real political examination no be who get campaign title but who fit produce result when ballot paper finally enter polling unit. He said his attention dey on FCT and Rivers, describing the two places as his political priorities. So while some politicians dey chase campaign offices, Wike dey present himself as person wey prefer to chase votes—at least according to his own political calculation.

“Rainbow Coalition” Don Enter 2027 Mathematics

But the matter no stop for Nyesom Wike rejecting campaign position. The FCT Minister also dey push what he calls “Rainbow Coalition”, an arrangement involving politicians across different political parties who support Tinubu while still maintaining their individual party identities. Wike recently said the coalition dey expand and predicted say more political realignments fit happen in the coming weeks.

The political mathematics become more interesting after Wike linked Osun Governor Ademola Adeleke’s recent engagement with Tinubu to the emerging coalition. However, Adeleke’s camp has pushed back against speculation that the meeting automatically means defection to APC, showing say political cooperation and formal party defection no necessarily be the same thing.

As 2027 dey draw closer, Wike’s latest declaration don add another layer to the growing political drama around Tinubu’s re-election bid. Whether his cross-party strategy go truly translate into votes for Tinubu, especially in Rivers and the FCT, na something election watchers go monitor closely. OGM News Pidgin go continue to follow the political gbas-gbos, because if Wike’s “Rainbow Coalition” really expand as promised, this political movie fit still get plenty episodes.
