In another development, Legit.ng reported that Nyesom Wike vowed to unseat the senator representing the FCT at the national assembly, Ireti Kingibe, in the 2027 general elections.

The minister, reacting to the federal lawmaker's earlier claim that Abuja residents were not impressed with Wike's performance, vowed that the senator would not return to the National Assembly in 2027.

This was after Senator Kingibe from the Labour Party appeared on Arise TV on Monday, complaining that she was being sidelined in the running of the FCT.
