Wike Backs Tinubu for 2027, Criticizes Atiku and Obi
Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, announced that Rivers State will support President Bola Tinubu in the upcoming 2027 election during a rally organized by the Rivers Rainbow Coalition in Port Harcourt. Wike criticized Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, labeling him as untrustworthy and a political gambler.
He stated that his experience in the same political party with Atiku revealed his inconsistency. Wike also dismissed Peter Obi as a "fake" politician reliant on social media popularity.
He highlighted the federal benefits Rivers State has received under Tinubu's administration, noting that 49 Rivers indigenes hold significant positions in the Federal Government. Wike pointed to the Bonny-Bodo road and bridge project as an example of federal intervention.
He urged the youth and supporters to mobilize for Tinubu and announced that the Rivers Rainbow Coalition would unveil its candidates on October 27. Kingsley Chinda, the APC governorship candidate in Rivers State, pledged to prioritize youth inclusion and community development.
