The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has promised a ₦10 million reward to each councillor who successfully delivers their respective wards for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.

Wike made the promise during a meeting with political stakeholders in Kwali Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, where he urged councillors to intensify grassroots mobilisation and work towards securing electoral victory for the President.

The minister said the proposed financial reward would serve as an incentive for councillors to demonstrate commitment to the President’s re-election campaign by ensuring strong support for him across their respective wards.

He also emphasised the importance of grassroots political structures in determining electoral outcomes, noting that councillors have significant roles to play in mobilising voters and strengthening support for the ruling party ahead of the 2027 polls.

The development comes as political activities and mobilisation efforts gradually gather momentum ahead of the next general elections, with political leaders and stakeholders stepping up strategies to secure support for their preferred candidates.
