The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has announced plans to visit Dunamis International Gospel Centre in Abuja to promote the achievements of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Wike disclosed this on Thursday, October 15, 2026, during his induction into the Idoma Hall of Fame as a “Friend of Idoma” at a celebration held in Abuja.
The former Rivers State governor said the senior pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Pastor Paul Enenche, had invited him to commission a pedestrian bridge constructed by the church.
According to Wike, he intends to use the visit as an opportunity to address worshippers and explain what he considers the benefits of the current federal administration.
The minister said he would speak directly to the congregation about the government’s role in approving the project, insisting that the necessary approval had not been granted before the Tinubu administration came into office.
The pedestrian bridge is located on the church’s premises in Abuja, with its commissioning reportedly scheduled for October 30, 2026.
Wike’s planned visit comes as political activities begin to intensify ahead of the 2027 presidential election. The minister has openly declared his support for Tinubu’s re-election and has pledged to mobilise political support for the president in Rivers State and the FCT.
At the inauguration of Tinubu’s Presidential Campaign Council, Wike reportedly reaffirmed his commitment to helping the president secure support in both areas, describing them as his main political assignments.
Although Wike remains a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), he has continued to support Tinubu, who belongs to the All Progressives Congress (APC). His position has remained a subject of discussion within Nigeria’s political landscape.
The planned appearance at Dunamis Church has also drawn attention because of the church’s large congregation and Pastor Enenche’s public profile. Wike’s stated intention to discuss the administration’s achievements with worshippers has raised questions about the relationship between political engagement, public infrastructure and religious gatherings.
The minister’s remarks have attracted mixed reactions online, with some commentators supporting his decision to highlight completed or approved projects, while others have questioned whether such occasions should be used to promote a political administration.
As the 2027 elections approach, Wike’s proposed visit is likely to generate further debate about how political figures engage religious communities and communicate their records to potential voters.
