Wike Prioritizes Tinubu's 2027 Re-election in Rivers State
Nyesom Wike, the Federal Capital Territory Minister, declared on October 5, 2026, that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's re-election bid for 2027 is his foremost priority. Speaking during town hall meetings with the Rumueme and Apara kingdoms in the Obio-Akpor Local Government Area, Wike expressed that thoughts of Tinubu's re-election occupy his mind constantly.
He appealed to Rivers State residents to transcend political affiliations and support Tinubu, citing the President's contributions to the state through appointments and what he termed "dividends of democracy." Wike expressed confidence that securing Tinubu's re-election in 2027 would be less challenging than the 2023 election. He also targeted opposition figures, particularly former Vice-President and former Rivers State governor Rotimi Amaechi, questioning the viability of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) ticket in achieving the necessary 25 percent of votes in Rivers State.
Wike cautioned his allies against internal conflicts that could jeopardize their political efforts ahead of the elections.
