Wike Targets 3 Million Votes for Tinubu in Rivers Campaign

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and coordinator of the Tinubu Campaign Council, inaugurated the Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress/Rainbow Coalition Presidential Campaign Council. He set a target of three million votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 general election during the inauguration of the over 700-member council in Port Harcourt.

Wike urged members to focus on grassroots mobilization through door-to-door engagements, community meetings, and market visits, moving away from traditional large rallies. He instructed each council member to mobilize at least five voters daily in support of Tinubu and National Assembly candidates.

Wike also announced that campaign councils would be established in all local government areas within a week and assured supporters excluded from the central council that they would be included in subcommittees. He defended the Rainbow Coalition as a strategic alliance to enhance Tinubu's electoral chances in Rivers State.
