Controversy As Wike Opens Up On His 2027 Plans

Sharp reactions reflecting the present hardship in the land erupted on Sunday evening after the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Mr Nyesom Wike told a church congregation in Rivers State that he had already sewn up plans for the 2027 elections.

Wike boasted of his political arsenal for the 2027 elections during a thanksgiving service by Senator Barinada Mpigi in Koroma, Tai Local Government Area of Rivers State on Sunday.

“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.

“This is the only state where the leading party will win for president, the opposition party will take national assembly in election that was done the same time, same minute and same hour. That is uncommon,” Wike said.

However, his assertion of his readiness for 2027 coming against the present distress in the land has led to a backlash on social media with many expressing shock of the minister’s political passions at a time many were in lamentation over hunger and insecurity.

GWG.ng gathered some of the reactions thus:

This is what happens when a people are docile, all talk but zero action. People who haven’t achieved anything are sure of winning in 2027. See finish for Nigerians and I don’t even blame him at all

Omo Kogi (Yagba)  @Oladapomikky1

This is the reason people don’t respect some churches again! How will a politician be saying this in church service! Is church service a campaign ground now? Joke of a country

Olóyè T.D Esq @BolanleCole

Wike is such an uncouth and a talkative who does not have respect for the people. People are suffering and Wike is talking about 2027. Oh Lord where is your face, do justice sir.

Even someone that will not witness 2027 is talking about election. God works in a mysterious ways.

The suffering and hunger of Nigerians is not even their business, they are bothered about wining the next election
