The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Yilwatda, has backed Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike regarding his initiative to offer a ₦10 million reward to councillors who successfully mobilize support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election campaign in the upcoming 2027 presidential election.
During an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Yilwatda emphasized that the proposed incentive does not constitute vote buying. Wike’s announcement has generated discussion, particularly concerning the potential implications of such rewards in the electoral process.
Wike had previously stated that any councillor who delivers votes for President Tinubu would be eligible for the ₦10 million incentive.
