Minister of the [Federal Capital Territory (FCT)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Capital_Territory_(Nigeria)) Nyesom Wike told APC governors on Wednesday in Abuja that they must intensify efforts in their respective states to guarantee President [Bola Ahmed Tinubu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bola_Ahmed_Tinubu) wins the 2027 presidential election, and that any governor who fails to deliver should not claim a victory.
**What was the setting of the remarks?**
The comments were made at the inauguration of the All Progressives Congress ([APC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Progressives_Congress)) Presidential Campaign Council. Wike stressed that governors who do not secure a win for the president in their states should not join the celebration if Tinubu is re‑elected.
**Which regions did Wike pledge to deliver?**
Wike announced his personal commitment to delivering both Rivers State and the FCT for the president in 2027. He said his appointment as coordinator for these areas reflects his confidence that ongoing projects will sway voters toward Tinubu.
**How did he address local officials?**
He told the chairmen of FCT area councils that the visible development initiatives in the territory would translate into votes for the president. “If you don’t deliver your state and the president wins, don’t say we have won,” he warned, adding that the presence of the president should be evident in every council.
**What was said about Lagos?**
Wike also relayed a conversation with the President’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, noting that if Tinubu fails to win Lagos, supporters should not claim victory elsewhere.
**Who else attended the event?**
Among the governors present was Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, who pledged to hit the ground running in support of Tinubu’s re‑election bid.
