Ireti Kingibe, the FCT Senator, claims that if she chooses to run for the same seat in the 2027 election, she will be re-elected.
On Tuesday’s episode of Channels Television’s Political Paradigm program, the chairperson of the Senate Committee on Women Affairs was a guest.
The Labour Party (LP) senator claimed that despite Nyesom Wike, the FCT Minister, opposing her, Abuja residents would elect her again if they decided to run.
Kingibe, 71, won’t go back to the red chamber in 2027, according to Wike in July 2024.
Kingibe, however, predicted a landslide victory on Tuesday if she were to run in the upcoming election.
The female lawmaker declared, “I know that I will win by a landslide, bigger than the previous one.” Remember that I entered the Senate with one of the highest, if not the highest, votes of any legislator.
And it didn’t just revolve around (LP Peter) Obi. Yes, he received some votes, but I also received some votes that he wouldn’t normally receive.
Kingibe claimed that former Rivers State governor Wike, who was appointed FCT minister by President Bola Tinubu in August 2023, resents the Abuja people.

She claims that the minister has so far treated the FCT’s citizens with contempt and disdain.
No one will know whether Wike controls the FCT until the local government election, according to Wike.
The FCT’s residents have their own independent minds, only those who have lived here for a long time will realize.
People who live here will be aware that the minister’s resentment is the one thing that unites us in the FCT, she said.
Kingibe argued that Wike should not have appointed Tinubu as FCT minister.
