According to him, Nigerians must be cautious of what he described as “emergency democrats” who suddenly attempt to identify with ordinary citizens during election season.

“Let me say this clearly, winning an election is not by dancing. It is not by buying corn on the road,” Wike said.

“Winning an election is to show the people what you have done and the foundation you have laid.”

Wike criticized politicians who, according to him, engage in public displays to win the sympathy of Nigerians.

“When they were in office, they hardly came out to talk about buying corn on the road to chew. Something you have never done since you were born, simply because you want to deceive the people to say you are one of the people,” he added.

The FCT Minister praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.

“Mr President is busy developing the FCT. That is performance. That is what people should look at,” Wike stated.

He further said that as a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), he would not dispute the presidential election outcome, citing what he described as tangible achievements.

“As a PDP holder, I will not challenge the result because I know what Mr President has done in the FCT,” he said.
