2027: Any FCT Councillor That Delivers His Ward to APC Will Get ₦10m Reward — FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has promised ₦10 million to every councillor who successfully delivers their political ward to President Bola Tinubu and other All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates in the 2027 general elections.

Wike made the promise on Monday during a Rainbow Coalition stakeholders’ meeting in Kwali Area Council, where he urged councillors to mobilise residents, youth groups and community associations for the APC.

“Any councillor that delivers his ward will get N10 million reward. Therefore, go and meet your leaders, go and meet your youth groups, go and consult with associations. Let’s deliver our ward to Mr President,” he said.

He also endorsed Tinubu for re-election, Senator Philip Aduda for the FCT Senate seat and Danladi Chiya for the Abuja South Federal Constituency.

Wike criticised opposition politicians for questioning the judiciary when court decisions go against them, citing their reactions to the judgment involving the ADC presidential ticket.

He also defended the provision of brand-new SUVs to first-class traditional rulers in the FCT, insisting that they deserved respect and adequate support.

Highlighting his administration’s achievements, Wike listed over 270 kilometres of roads across satellite towns, including 95 kilometres in Kwali, and said ongoing projects would be inaugurated in December.

He further credited Tinubu with establishing the FCT Civil Service Commission, appointing a Head of Service and granting financial autonomy to area councils.

The minister also promised to look into councillors’ salaries after their representative, Gambo Hamza, disclosed that they earned ₦260,000 monthly.

Meanwhile, APC FCT Chairman Ishaku Yamawo and PDP FCT Chairman Mohammed Dogara commended Wike’s efforts and pledged support for Tinubu’s re-election.
