2027: Wike’s performance has made Tinubu’s victory in FCT easy – RTIFN coordinator

The newly inaugurated FCT Coordinator of the “Relax, Tinubu is Fixing Nigeria” (RTIFN), Comrade Donald Amagbo, has said the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Barrister Nyesom Wike, has made it easy for President Bola Tinubu and other candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to win in the nation’s capital in next year’s general elections.

Amagbo stated this while speaking with journalists after the inauguration of the FCT chapter of the group in Wuse 2, Abuja, on Friday. He commended Wike for transforming the Territory’s infrastructure, citing the numerous road networks and urban renewal projects as visible evidence of the administration’s progress.

Amagbo said: “First of all, I wish to praise the wisdom of our father, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for bringing Ezenwo Nyesom Wike to the FCT. I am sure you can see for yourself what the President has supported him to do in the FCT.

“The infrastructural turnaround is unprecedented. I am sure FCT residents, not only those in the urban areas, but particularly those in the rural areas, can now enjoy, for the first time, what those in the city have been enjoying since the Territory was created 50 years ago.

“His performance in the FCT has given us a scorecard with which to campaign for the President’s second term in office. Residents will surely identify with the good road networks with streetlights and drainages. That is the kind of fixing we are talking about.”

He further stated, “Barrister Nyesom Wike is a working minister. He’s someone we know very well, a man of integrity. We, the residents of the FCT, the aborigines and everybody can testify to what His Excellency has done. Just look at the road infrastructure in the FCT; you can see for yourself.

“For example, see how the City Gate is looking, like another London. So, we in the FCT are happy that we are benefiting from the dividends of Mr President, and we are ready come 2027 to canvass and vote for Mr. President because of the work he has done and continues to do in the nation’s capital through His Excellency, Barrister Nyesom Wike.”

The FCT Coordinator thanked the founder of the organisation, Seyi Tinubu, and its Director-General, Ahmed Bala, for the opportunity to serve, promising to work assiduously to break the jinx of ruling parties losing in the FCT and ensure Tinubu’s victory.

He pledged that the chapter would mobilise residents for the President and the APC across the six area councils of the FCT, AMAC, Gwagwalada, Kuje, Kwali, Abaji and Bwari ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

Earlier, the Director-General of the group, Bala, charged members to take the message to Nigerians with humility and compassion, and to be abreast of the numerous achievements of the President.

“Our job is to go around the 36 states, engaging the youth and grassroots to explain the achievements of Mr. President. He inherited a battered economy, and four years is not enough to fix everything. The policies are tough, but like surgery on an injury, this is the necessary first step to a better Nigeria,” Bala said.

He described President Tinubu as “God-sent” to reverse decades of economic and infrastructural decay, noting that fixing the country’s long-standing challenges requires time and collective endurance.

Corroborating him, the Deputy Director-General of the movement, Zack Orji, cited specific fiscal policies implemented under the Renewed Hope Agenda, including the removal of fuel subsidy, the creation of regional development commissions with N150 billion take-off grants, and Supreme Court-backed financial autonomy for local governments.

The veteran actor noted that allocations to sub-nationals have increased significantly up to 500 per cent in some instances and urged citizens to hold their local representatives and state governors accountable for resource utilisation.

“The President has made sure there are enough funds at every level to take care of the people. Reforms are painful, but in two years, Nigerians will see the full results,” Orji said.

Also speaking, the group’s National Director for Town Hall and Public Engagement, Deborah Farida Ibrahim, and the National Spokesman (North), Dr Hamza Abubakar Haruna, reiterated the need for continuity, stressing that complex economic restructuring requires sustained leadership beyond a single term to complete key national projects and fully stabilise the economy.
