Wike Promises Ogoni Votes for Tinubu's University Initiative

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, announced that the Ogoni people in Rivers State will reward President Bola Tinubu with their votes in the 2027 general elections. This support is attributed to the establishment of the Federal University of Environment and Technology and the appointment of local indigenes to key federal positions.

Wike made this statement during a Rainbow Coalition Town Hall meeting in Tai local government area at Gbenegininwa Hall, Saakpenwa. He emphasized the university's potential for economic and developmental benefits, including job creation and increased business opportunities for young people.

Wike noted that the university's impact would become more evident over time and highlighted the efforts of the late Senator Barry Mpigi in securing its establishment. He urged the local political leaders to aim for at least 70 percent of the votes cast in support of Tinubu and other Rainbow Coalition candidates in the upcoming elections.
