Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), says opposition parties will find it difficult to unseat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general election, citing the administration’s infrastructure projects across the country.
Wike said this on Tuesday in Abuja after inspecting ongoing road construction projects, describing the visible infrastructure developments under Tinubu’s administration as a strong campaign message for the ruling party.
According to him, the scale of projects delivered by the administration would make it difficult for opposition parties to convince voters that the president had not performed.
“You can see clearly that it will be difficult to unseat the president today because the report card is obvious in terms of what he has done.

“Like I told you, this is our campaign. People ask what we are going to campaign with, but we have so many visible achievements all around us,” he said.
The minister argued that residents of Abuja would find it difficult to overlook the infrastructure projects executed under the Tinubu administration, describing the achievements as unprecedented.
Wike inspected the ongoing construction of the Nnette Southern Expressway, stretching from the Area 1 roundabout to the Games Village bridges, as well as the Southern Parkway, which links Oladipo Diya Road with Ring Road II.
He also inspected the Arterial Road S1 project, designed to connect Ring Road II to the FCT Fire Service Station through the Kaura and Gaduwa district corridors.
Highlighting the pace of construction, the minister pointed to the Southern Parkway project, which was flagged off during activities marking Tinubu’s third year in office.
“Within six to seven months, you can see what has been achieved. It is unimaginable and that is why we are very happy,” he said.
Wike said the FCT administration was also working towards inaugurating at least 10 major infrastructure projects before the 2027 general election, scheduled for January 16, 2027.
The planned inaugurations, he said, would further showcase the administration’s infrastructure delivery record ahead of the election.
