Deji Adeyanju
An activist lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, has declared that only residents of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, can decide who becomes senator in 2027 and not Minister Nyesom Wike.
Adeyanju said Wike can’t decide for the people because FCT is not Rivers State, where election results are written with guns.
The lawyer’s comment comes amid Wike’s face-off with the senator representing the FCT, Ireti Kingibe.

Kingibe had said Wike only focused on infrastructural projects that had less impact on the residents of FCT.
She accused the minister of not taking into cognizance the needs of FCT residents.
Responding, Wike warned that Kingibe would not return to the Senate in 2027.
Reacting, the activist lawyer reminded Wike that incumbent presidents are defeated in the FCT.
Posting on X, Adeyanju wrote: “Only the people of FCT can decide who becomes Senator in 2027, not Wike. The arrogance of power is what will make Wike think he can decide for the people.
“FCT is not Rivers, where people write results and shoot guns. Even incumbent presidents get defeated in the FCT.
“I know these folks have 100% control of INEC and other rigging mechanisms, but the arrogance is truly uncalled for.
“Nigerian politicians are like power drunk Nigerian celebrities and pastors who can boast openly about getting the police to lock you up, and they will eventually do it.”
