Wike Drops Bombshell: Church Almost Made Nigeria’s Biggest Mistake In 2023

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has stated that the Christian community nearly made a politically costly error during the 2023 general elections — one he believes could have endangered Nigeria’s future.

Wike made this known on Sunday during a thanksgiving service at St. James’ Anglican Church in Asokoro, Abuja. The service was held to celebrate the successful completion of several FCT projects recently commissioned by President Bola Tinubu.

While addressing the congregation, Wike urged the church to exercise greater caution as the 2027 elections approach. Although he didn’t go into detail, the minister advised religious leaders to be more informed and careful when engaging in political matters.

He said, “Let me use this moment to caution the church — you almost made a grave mistake in 2023. We must tread carefully moving forward.

“You made a choice that could have jeopardized the future of some of us. Before taking sides, ask us — the politicians — questions.

“Be cautious about what people tell you. Had things gone a different way, some of us wouldn’t be standing here today.

“If you need clarity, reach out to us. There are senators among you — consult them. They can explain the situation. The blackmailers are at it again.”
