Wike promises N10m to councillors who deliver wards for Tinubu in 2027

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has promised a N10 million reward to each councillor across Nigeria who delivers their ward for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.

Wike made the pledge during a political engagement in Kwali Area Council, Abuja, where he called on residents to support Tinubu’s re-election bid.

The minister also commended the Rainbow Coalition initiative, describing it as a platform bringing together political leaders from different parties in support of a common objective.

He said the initiative deserved recognition for its efforts to unite Nigeria’s political class, irrespective of party affiliations.

Wike urged residents of Kwali Area Council and other parts of the FCT to vote for Tinubu in 2027, arguing that his re-election would attract further development to the nation’s capital.

The minister’s proposed N10 million reward would apply to councillors who secure victory for Tinubu in their respective wards.

However, details of how the proposed reward would be funded, administered or verified were not immediately provided.
