The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has expressed confidence that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) would perform better in the FCT in the 2027 general election, citing increased grassroots acceptance and enjoyment of government infrastructural projects across the territory.
Wike said residents were beginning to respond positively to what he described as visible governance, especially the extension of infrastructures to satellite towns and rural communities.
“What the people want is simple, they want to feel the impact of governance. It is not about magic. Nigerians are interested in good governance, infrastructure, electricity, and improved living conditions,” the minister said on Tuesday after inspecting six out of the projects being prepared for commissioning ahead of President Bola Tinubu’s third year anniversary celebration in Abuja.

On the judiciary, Wike dismissed claims of preferential treatment, insisting that the administration was providing support across all sectors.
He said: “For the judiciary to be independent, you must provide the necessary infrastructure, welfare and working conditions.
“It is not only about the judiciary. We are also providing water, schools and other basic needs for Nigerians.”
