Tinubu To Appoint Wike APC Campaign Coordinator For 2027

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to give Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, a defined role in his 2027 presidential campaign, with the former Rivers State governor expected to coordinate the campaign structure in Rivers State and the Federal Capital Territory.

The arrangement is expected to allow Tinubu’s campaign to benefit from Wike’s political network in the two territories while avoiding a formal change in the minister’s party affiliation.

Wike remains a member of the Peoples Democratic Party despite his open support for Tinubu’s re-election bid.
