Rivers Governor Wike hints at 2027 anointed candidate, criticizes opposition

Rivers State Governor Wike hinted at an anointed candidate for the 2027 governorship election during an address in Ahoada East LGA. He urged support for the chosen candidate, criticized opposition parties like APC, and vowed to ensure his political godson, Siminalayi Fubara, is not re-elected in 2027.

Wike also appealed for support for President Bola Tinubu's re-election bid. Meanwhile, a PDP chieftain predicted that APC's empowerment of Wike could lead to a shift in political dynamics.
