AI Summary

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike said in a media briefing in Abuja that he will support President Bola Tinubu’s bid for a second term, emphasizing that his backing will be for candidates who align with the president’s agenda rather than party affiliation. He noted that the Peoples Democratic Party has not learned from its internal crisis and that his party has not consulted him on candidate selections. Wike clarified that his support is not for any specific party but for individuals who favor the president. The remarks come as the PDP continues to grapple with leadership and zoning disputes ahead of the 2027 elections.
