WIKE PROMISES ₦10 MILLION TO COUNCILLORS WHO DELIVER WARDS FOR TINUBU IN 2027
FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has promised ₦10 million to every councillor who delivers his or her ward for President Bola Tinubu and other APC candidates in the 2027 elections. Wike made the pledge during a Rainbow Coalition stakeholders’ meeting in Kwali Area Council and urged councillors to mobilize community leaders, youths and associations. Nigeria’s Electoral Act prohibits corrupt gifts or promises intended to procure a candidate’s election or voters’ support, but no court or electoral authority has ruled that Wike’s pledge itself constitutes an offense.
