I’m Not Planning To Join 2027 Presidential Race, Fubara Still Remains My ‘Political Son’ –Wike

Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Barrister Nyesom Wike, has described rumours claiming that he is planning to join the 2027 presidential race as ‘untrue’.

Recall that rumours that the former Rivers State governor is planning to run for president in 2027 had surfaced after it was said that PDP has taken a decision to ‘zone’ its presidential nomination to the south.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that the FCT Minister, who made this clarification in an interview with BBC News Pidgin on Saturday, added that he cannot contest against his boss, President Bola Tinubu.

‘I will not contest. Why will I contest against someone I’m working for?

 They said they will zone it to the South, let them zone first. When we get to the bridge, we will know how to cross it’ he said.

Barrister Nyesom Wike also submitted during the interview that the suspended governor of Rivers State, Mr  Siminalayi Fubara remains his ‘political son’ despite the rift between the two of them.

He also noted that he is only trying to stop some people from benefiting from where they did not sow.

‘That one is not a battle. He (Fubara) is my boy, he is my son, why will I fight with him? I’m only fighting against people who want to steal what they did not work for.

 When you don’t defeat them, they will think you….. Defeat them to the final stage.

Now, they are ashamed because they are being defeated. They are the ones pushing Fubara’ he said-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
