Wike Mobilizes Rivers State for Tinubu's 2027 Re-election

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, has declared that the people of Nigeria===Rivers State do not need a governor to mobilize support for President Bola Tinubu's re-election in 2027. Speaking in Port Harcourt, Wike commissioned the headquarters of the Nigeria===Rivers State Renewed Hope Ambassadors, which includes a radio station, situation room, and office facilities. His remarks were directed at Governor Siminalayi Fubara, with whom he is engaged in a political battle over control of the state's political structure. Wike emphasized that his coalition, comprising senators, assembly members, council chairmen, and party chairmen from both the Nigeria===All Progressives Congress and Nigeria===People s Democratic Party, possesses the necessary influence to secure the state for President Tinubu. He challenged anyone to come to Nigeria===Rivers State and learn about their commitment, stating that their support is demonstrated through actions and local investments rather than external funding. The event highlighted the deepening rift between Wike and Fubara, with Fubara and his supporters notably absent. The 'Simplified Movement,' associated with Governor Fubara, is also planning an event to demonstrate support for President Tinubu.
