The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Friday denied file {that a} faction of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is “pushing” him to run for the presidency in 2027.

Wike described the file as “some other lie from idle minds who don’t have anything to give a contribution to the market of the rustic.”

A remark by means of his spokesman, Lere Olayinka, stated “so far as Wike is anxious, it’s President Bola Ahmed Tinubu until 2031”.

He stated it was once shameful that the “pull Wike down” components may no longer reason why past such kindergarten ways, including that it was once transparent that they want higher brains to suppose for them.

According to the remark: “Report circulated by means of a web based platform this is infamous for falsehood and blackmail {that a} assembly was once held by means of some leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to “push” the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, to run for President in 2027, has been described as “some other lie from idle minds who don’t have anything to give a contribution to the market of the rustic.

“Wike does no longer serve as in hiding. He does what he says, and says what he does.

“The Minister has made it transparent the place he stands so long as the 2027 Presidential election is anxious, he’s with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”

Olayinka mentioned that the one assembly that happened on August 20, 2025, was once that of PDP stakeholders from Southern a part of Nigeria, and the aim was once the assembly scheduled for Lagos on August 21, 2025, by means of some components to rubberstamp a call to micro-zone celebration positions zoned to the South.

“Outcome of the assembly was once made public by means of a press remark titled; ‘Re: Purported Meeting Of PDP Southern Zoning Consultative Summit,’ signed by means of State Party Chairmen of Imo, Abia, Cross River, Akwa Ibom and Rivers, Austin Nwachukwu, Abraham Amah, Barr. Venatuis Ikem, Rt. Hon Aniekan Akpan and Aaron Chukwuemeka respectively, in addition to the National Vice Chairman (South-East), Hon. Chidiebere Egwu Goodluck and Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Hon O. Ok. Chinda.

“Others who signed the clicking remark had been Senators Igwe Nwagu, Mao Ohuabunwa, George Sekibo, Mike Ama Nnachi, former National Secretary, Rt. Hon. Onwe S. Onwe, Deputy National Legal Adviser, Barr. Okechukwu Osuoha, former Ebonyi State Legal Adviser, Barr. Mudi Erhenede and others.

“Obviously, the above names had been picked from the clicking remark printed in all main newspapers and aired on nationwide tv stations, to advance the most recent mischief.

“We know their purpose despite the fact that. But sadly for them, and the platform they’re the use of to propagate their idle plots, the individual and persona of the FCT Minister is understood to everybody – he does no longer do anything else in hiding.

“He has stated it obviously that from now until 2031, it’s at the mandate of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu that he’ll stand.

“To make sure that the market of the President’s reelection, Wike will proceed to ship at the Renewed Hope Agenda within the FCT by means of actualising the visions of the President for a federal sales strategy town that may compete with different sales strategy towns on this planet in relation to infrastructural market.”
