Wike Promises N10 Million Reward to FCT Councillors Who Deliver Wards for Tinubu in 2027

According to reports by Daily Trust, TheCable and The Will on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike has promised a N10 million reward to every councillor who successfully delivers their political ward for President Bola Tinubu and other All Progressives Congress candidates in the 2027 general elections.

Wike made the announcement on Monday during a Rainbow Coalition stakeholders’ meeting in Kwali Area Council. The gathering was attended by traditional rulers, political stakeholders and residents. He urged councillors to mobilise community leaders, youth groups and associations to secure support for the President.

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

The minister also endorsed Senator Philip Aduda for the FCT senatorial seat and Danladi Chiya for the Abuja South Federal Constituency. He expressed confidence that area councils such as Kwali, Gwagwalada and Abaji would deliver strong support for the APC.

Wike further promised to look into the remuneration of FCT councillors after complaints that they currently earn about N260,000 monthly. The pledge forms part of ongoing grassroots mobilisation efforts ahead of the 2027 elections.
