Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, expressed confidence on Sunday that his political movement will beat any opposition in the 2027 elections.
The former Rivers State Governor, who is feuding with his successor, Siminalayi Fubara, made the remarks during a thanksgiving service hosted by federal lawmaker Senator Barinada Mpigi in Koroma, Tai Local Government Area of the state.
The FCT Minister said that the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are working together in Rivers State ahead of the 2019 general election.
He said,
“With the forces we have I don’t know of anybody who can challenge us. I can tell you it is like tomorrow is 2027. For me it is still very far, I can’t wait.
“The two leadership of the party, APC is here, PDP is here; where can you find that leadership unity? Which state? It is only in Rivers that you can find that unity.
“And that is what many people don’t like. When they see people united and working together, they find how to make sure they are divided but since we know, we have refused to be divided”.
Recall that Rivers State was recently in a political crisis following alleged moves by Wike to impose decisions on the current administration.
