Kingibe Won’t Return To Senate In 2027, She Has No Projects – Wike
Title: Minister of FCT Predicts Tough Re-Election Road for Senator Ireti Kingibe In the scorching Nigerian politics, predictions of who will hold power in the future are often a closely guarded secret. However, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has boldly predicted that Senator Ireti Kingibe will not secure re-election to the Senate in 2027. According to Wike, the reason behind this prediction is Kingibe's lack of tangible projects to show for her time in office. Senator Kingibe, who represents the FCT in the National Assembly, joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC) after being elected to the Senate in 2023 on the Labour Party platform. Tensions between Wike and Kingibe have been on the rise, especially regarding governance in the FCT. Kingibe recently accused Wike of being uncooperative in efforts to deliver development projects for residents. In a recent media appearance, Wike maintained his stance against Kingibe's re-election, citing her lack of visible development initiatives. He challenged her to show one tangible project, implying that her efforts have not been impactful. Furthermore, Wike pointed out that Kingibe has not been adequately present in satellite communities, which he noted are often areas with high voter participation. The FCT Minister's comments come as a response to Kingibe's allegations of uncooperation. However, Wike has defended his actions, stating that as the territory's chief security officer, he has the right to visit polling units to ensure security. This move was criticized by opposition parties, but Wike argued that it did not influence the outcome of the recent FCT area council elections. The Minister's confidence in his administration's performance was also evident, as he attributed the poor performance of opposition parties to poor preparation. He also praised the effectiveness of the administration of Bola Tinubu, whose party recorded impressive results in the elections. Wike's prediction for Kingibe's re-election bid may be a wake-up call for the Senator, who has been accused of lacking tangible projects to show for her time in office. As the 2027 elections draw near, it remains to be seen whether Kingibe will be able to turn things around and secure her re-election.
