Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has dismissed the proposed coalition to unseat President Bola Tinubu in 2027, declaring that the move is “bound to fail.”
Wike made the statement on Wednesday during the inauguration of Arterial Road N16 to Arterial Road N20 and other projects in the Katampe District of Abuja.
According to him, President Tinubu’s achievements so far have already rendered the planned opposition alliance ineffective.
“Your good work has killed the coalition. I was thinking that truly, there would be a coalition. The coalition is bound to fail, and it has failed,” Wike said while thanking the President for granting a 10-day window for commissioning completed projects in the FCT.
The opposition, with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as one of its leading figures, has been struggling to form a united front ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Internal crises within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), have further weakened the chances of a strong challenge against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Reaffirming his support for Tinubu’s administration, Wike added, “Some people will not be happy; many of them were born not to be happy. Under Tinubu, contractors now have confidence in the government.”
