The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, says he will support only candidates who align with President Bola Tinubu in the forthcoming FCT Area Council elections scheduled for February 21, 2026.
The minister made the remarks in Abuja on Saturday during the 60th birthday celebration of Senator Sandy Onor, describing his stance as a duty he owes to the President. In a statement issued on Sunday by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, Wike said he would support any candidate, regardless of party affiliation, provided they back the President’s agenda.
He added that he had no apology for his position, stressing that he would also work against candidates who do not support the President. “We have the FCT Area Council election coming up on February 21, and I have a duty to support any candidate that supports President Tinubu to win.
