Ten million naira is on the table, and all a ward councillor has to do is deliver votes.
Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, made the promise directly to FCT councillors, telling each one that a N10 million reward awaits them if their ward comes in for President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 elections.
His instructions were clear and practical: go meet your local leaders, connect with youth groups, consult with community associations, and get the work done. "Let's deliver our ward to Mr President," he told them.
Whether councillors across the FCT will take up the challenge, and whether the promised millions will actually follow, is a question 2027 will answer.
