ABUJA: The Federal Capital Territory FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, has dismissed reports suggesting that a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP was urging him to contest the 2027 presidential election, describing the claim as "cheap blackmail and idle propaganda."
Wikes Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, in a statement on Friday, said the report, which emanated from an online platform he accused of thriving on "falsehood and blackmail," was not only baseless but also aimed at maligning the ministers reputation.
