"I will be the first politician they will come after" Wike shares fears if Atiku or Obi wins election
Nyesom Wike, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, has said he would become the first target if President Bola Tinubu loses the 2027 presidential election to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar or Peter Obi. Wike, who has been supporting Tinubu despite being a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said he was fully aware of the consequences of the position he had taken. Speaking during a media chat, Wike said: 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. Wike said in spite of the possibility of political consequences, his resolve to campaign for and support Tunubu remains strong. Each day I sleep, I am thinking about the presidents reelection. When I am eating, I think about the presidents reelection. Everything I am doing now is about the presidents reelection, he stated. The former Rivers State governor said the criticism directed at him over his political position had been unusually intense.But he maintained that he was not concerned about the names he had been called or the opinions expressed by his critics. I dont see where anybody in this country today has been called names the way my name has been. I am not bothered about people who say their [own] thing. My business is, like I said, I am going to support Mr President, he said.  The post "I will be the first politician they will come after" Wike shares fears if Atiku or Obi wins election appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
