Wike Backs Tinubu Over Amaechi for 2027 Elections
Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, declared that the people of Rivers State will favor President Bola Tinubu over Rotimi Amaechi, the vice-presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, in the upcoming 2027 elections. Speaking in Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State, Wike referenced Amaechi's choice of former President Muhammadu Buhari over then-President Goodluck Jonathan during the 2015 presidential election.
He criticized Amaechi for failing to benefit Rivers State during his tenure as Minister of Transportation, specifically accusing him of relocating the University of Transportation to Daura in Katsina State. Wike reiterated that Amaechi's definition of brotherhood, which he claimed was not based on blood relations, would guide their voting decision in 2027.
He asserted that since Tinubu has identified with Rivers State, they will adopt his definition and support him over Amaechi and the ADC.
