The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has declared that opposition parties will find it extremely difficult to defeat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.
Wike made the statement in Abuja on Tuesday while inspecting ongoing infrastructure projects across the territory.
He pointed to what he described as Tinubu’s strong record of infrastructure development, arguing that the administration’s visible achievements would give the ruling party substantial accomplishments to present to voters.
According to the minister, the scale and speed of projects delivered under Tinubu have made it difficult for political opponents to challenge the government’s performance.
“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.
“Like I told you, this is our campaign. People ask what we are going to campaign with, but we have so many visible achievements all around us.
“There is no way residents of Abuja will see the kind of infrastructure we have provided and say they are not happy with the achievements of Mr President. It is second to none,” he said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that 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, which is expected to connect Ring Road II to the FCT Fire Service Station through the Kaura and Gaduwa district corridors.
Highlighting the pace of work on major infrastructure projects, Wike singled out the Southern Parkway, noting the progress made since its launch during activities marking 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,” Wike said.
The minister further disclosed that the FCT administration was working towards commissioning at least 10 major projects before the 2027 general elections, scheduled for January 16, 2027.
