Wike promises N10m to councillors who deliver wards for Tinubu in 2027

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has promised N10 million to every councillor who delivers their ward for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections, while pledging to improve councillors’ welfare and promote women’s participation in governance.

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has promised N10 million to councillors who successfully deliver their wards for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.

According to Daily Post, Wike announced the incentive on Monday during a stakeholders’ meeting attended by traditional rulers and political leaders in Kwali Area Council.

“Any councillor that delivers his ward will get N10 million reward. Therefore, go and meet your leaders, go and meet your youth groups, and go and consult with associations. Let us deliver our ward to Mr President,” Wike said.

The minister urged councillors to intensify grassroots mobilisation and engage community associations ahead of the elections.

Responding to an appeal by Gambo Hamza, Chairman of the FCT chapter of the National Councillors Forum, Wike promised to review councillors’ remuneration.

He said discussions would involve relevant government officials to address welfare concerns.

Wike also called for greater participation of women in governance and decision-making processes across the territory.
