Wike and Abe Urge Amaechi to Support Southern Presidency
On Tuesday in Port Harcourt, Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and leader of the Rivers State Rainbow Coalition, along with former senator Magnus Abe, challenged Rotimi Amaechi regarding his reported support for former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar. They argued that the South should retain the presidency until 2031, emphasizing the need for Amaechi to adhere to his previous stance on the rotation of presidential power between the North and South.
Abe called for Amaechi to resign as Atiku's vice-presidential candidate, stating that it is the South's turn for the presidency and that Rivers State supports the agreement on power rotation. Both Wike and Abe expressed their support for President Bola Tinubu's re-election bid in 2027 during the event, which was focused on unveiling candidates for the Rivers State Rainbow Coalition.
