Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, says he would be the first politician to suffer if President Bola Tinubu loses the 2027 general elections.
Wike, who stated this during a media parley on Wednesday, said he would suffer the repercussions, especially from Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi.
He however reiterated his support for Tinubu’s reelection, insisting he has no regrets over his political stance.
“I will be the first politician that I think they will come after. I will be the first politician. I know they will come for my head,” he said.
The Minister said he was under no illusions about the risks of his position but maintained that he would not shy away from confronting the President’s opponents.
The former Rivers State governor further stated that he remained focused solely on Tinubu’s victory regardless of the personal political cost.
“Each day I sleep, I am thinking about the President’s reelection. When I am eating, I think about the President’s reelection. Everything I am doing now is about the President’s reelection,” he stated.
Wike added that criticisms trailing his support for Tinubu do not bother him, stressing that he has been vilified more than any other politician for his loyalty.
