Wike Urges Rivers Voters to Reject Political Gamblers

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and national leader of the Rainbow Coalition, warned Rivers State residents against trusting their political future to "political gamblers" during a town hall meeting in Ayama, Abua/Odual local government area. He mobilized support for President Bola Tinubu's re-election in 2027, urging voters to prioritize candidates with proven performance over those with unclear visions.

Wike criticized politicians like former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi, and Peter Obi for treating presidential contests as games of chance. He defended his record as former governor of Rivers State by highlighting projects executed during his administration and called for support for Tinubu and other candidates endorsed by the Rainbow Coalition.

Wike specifically urged voters to support Kingsley Chinda for governor, Felix Obua for Rivers West Senatorial District, and Solomon Boss for the Abua/Odual-Ahoada East Federal Constituency, all under the All Progressives Congress, while also appealing for support for John Iderima, the PDP candidate for the Abua/Odual State.
