I will never support Hope Uzodinma to become Senate president – Wike
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has made it clear that he will never support the Governor of Imo state, Hope Uzodinma, to become Senate President in 2027. He accused Uzodinma of using his position to advance his personal political ambitions. Wike was speaking on TVC News’ Journalists’ Hangout on Monday, amid the escalating dispute between him and APC governors over his Rainbow Coalition ahead of the 2027 elections.
The FCT minister, who said some politicians who had lost out in the APC’s nomination process had found alternative platforms to contest the 2027 elections, said Uzodinma knew that such candidates could ultimately refuse to support his Senate presidency ambition. “Now, the other people who they have removed and not given ticket have found an alternative to run.
And he knows that if they run and they win, it means that they are not going to support him to be the Senate President and that knowing fully well that they are running under Wike’s support of PDP, they will not support them.
“Of course, life or death, I will never support Hope Uzodinma to become the Senate President of Nigeria. Everybody knows that. Nobody should ask me questions about it, it is not personal,” Wike said.
