Minister of the Federal Capital Territory FCT Nyesom Wike has debunked rumours that he may pick the presidential ticket to battle against President Bola Tinubu for the number one seat in 2027.
Rumour has it that if the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, agrees to zone it’s presidential ticket to the South, Wike may join the race.
However, in an interview with BBC Pidgin, the former Rivers State governor said he cannot contest against his boss.
Asked if he will contest if the main opposition party zones it’s ticket to the South, Wike simply said, “I will not contest. Why will I contest against someone I’m working for?
When the interviewer further asked him if he believes that President Tinubu will win the 2027 election, Wike said there is nobody in the opposition to challenge the President.
“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.
