High Stakes: Nyesom Wike Vows To Resign As Minister If President Tinubu Loses FCT and Rivers In 2027!,
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has declared that he will step down from his cabinet position if President Bola Tinubu fails to win both Rivers State and the FCT in the upcoming 2027 general elections.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Addressing the leadership and members of the Apo Mechanics and Traders Association in Abuja on Wednesday, the former Rivers State governor stated that holding office is contingent upon delivering tangible political results in his operational domain. He specifically noted that by January 17, 2027, he would publicly announce his resignation if the administration loses those two critical territories.
Detailing his political framework for the region, Wike emphasized a cross-party coalition strategy aimed at securing electoral victories across all legislative and executive tiers. While backing President Tinubu’s re-election bid, he also endorsed specific local figures, including Philip Aduda for the Senate and former Area Council chairmen running for the House of Representatives. Wike concluded that failing to secure the capital under his watch would render him entirely unqualified to continue serving as minister.
Following a shocking 3-2 defeat to The Gambia—where Ghana squandered a comfortable 2-0 first-half lead courtesy of Ernest Nuamah and Felix Afena-Gyan—head coach Carlos Queiroz has firmly rejected mounting calls for his resignation. Despite the loss dealing a severe blow to their qualifying campaign and triggering widespread fan frustration, the Portuguese tactician argued that stepping down is merely an easy way out that fails to address the deep-rooted issues facing Ghanaian football.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Speaking during the post-match press conference, Queiroz placed the final decision in the hands of the Ghana Football Association board, noting that while he is fully capable of carrying out his duties, the administration must evaluate whether the proper conditions are in place for him to proceed. He rejected the label of failure, emphasizing a philosophy of learning rather than defeat, and urged the squad to quickly refocus ahead of their upcoming fixtures against Somalia to rescue their qualification hopes.
