Social commentator and businessman, Isaac Fayose, has challenged the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, over his claim that opposition parties lack popularity in Abuja ahead of the 2027 general election.
Fayose, who spoke during an interview on News Central TV, insisted that former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, enjoy strong support in the nation’s capital.
His remarks followed Wike’s recent assertion that the opposition was not popular in Abuja and that President Bola Tinubu would comfortably win both the FCT and Rivers State in the 2027 election.
Disagreeing with the minister, Fayose said: “Abuja is NDC, Abuja is Peter Obi.”
