Wike: Tinubu’s Infrastructure Record Will Make 2027 Victory Easier

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has said opposition parties will find it difficult to unseat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections, citing what he described as the administration’s visible achievements in infrastructure development.

Wike stated this on Tuesday in Abuja while inspecting ongoing road projects across the Federal Capital Territory.

He said the scale and pace of infrastructure development under Tinubu had provided the ruling All Progressives Congress with sufficient achievements to campaign on ahead of the elections.

“You can see clearly that it will be difficult to unseat the president today because the report card is obvious in terms of what he has done,” the minister said.

He added that the projects being executed across Abuja would make it difficult for residents to dismiss the achievements of the Tinubu administration.

Wike inspected the ongoing construction of the Innet Southern Motorway, stretching from the Area 1 Roundabout to the Games Village bridges and Southern Parkway, which links Oladipo Diya Road with Ring Road II.

He also visited the Arterial Road S1 project, designed to connect Ring Road II to the FCT Fire Service Station through the Kaura and Gaduwa districts.

Highlighting the pace of work, the minister cited the transformation of the Southern Parkway project, which was flagged off during the celebration of Tinubu’s third year in office.

“Within six to seven months, you can see what has been achieved. It is unimaginable, and that is why we are very happy,” he said.

Wike further assured that the FCT administration was on course to inaugurate at least 10 major projects before the 2027 general elections scheduled for January 16.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported the development.
