The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has lampooned former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi, the African Democratic Congress (ADC)’s vice-presidential candidate for the 2027 election.

Commenting on Amaechi’s recent town hall meeting in Cross River State, Wike claimed that fewer than 200 people attended the gathering.

The FCT Minister said: “I watched Amaechi, he had a town hall meeting in Cross River. I can tell you the numbers not up to 200 people.”

“He said, ‘Atiku is from where? North. Tinubu is from where? South. Obi is from where? South. Donald Duke is from where? South. Atiku has won the election.’”

“How can a vice-presidential candidate go to a town hall meeting, standing and telling his supporters, ‘Do you know how this election has been won?’”

“In 2023, Atiku ran, Obi ran, Tinubu ran, who won?”

“I’ve always told you people, 2027 will be totally different from 2023.”
