MY JOB IS TO GIVE OPPOSITION LEADERS HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE — WIKE

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has said his political role is to keep opposition leaders under pressure ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Wike made the remark while speaking about the growing political activities and realignments ahead of the next general election.
The minister said he is not interested in allowing opposition politicians to become too comfortable, insisting that his political activities would continue to put pressure on them.
According to Wike, the opposition should expect a strong political contest as preparations for 2027 intensify.
He also maintained that political leaders must be prepared to defend their positions and convince Nigerians to support them rather than rely solely on political calculations.
Wike has remained one of the most outspoken figures in Nigeria’s political landscape, particularly since his fallout with some members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
His relationship with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has also continued to attract attention, especially as political parties begin positioning themselves for the 2027 elections.
The FCT minister has repeatedly stated that he is focused on his political interests and would continue to engage opposition figures ahead of the election.
His latest comments have further highlighted the increasingly competitive political atmosphere as parties and politicians prepare for 2027.
