Governor Wike Vows to Deliver Rivers State for Tinubu in 2027 Presidential Race
Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State expressed his determination to deliver Rivers State for Bola Tinubu without requiring the support of the current governor. Wike made this declaration during an event at the Rivers State Renew Hope Ambassador House, emphasizing his commitment to mobilizing support for Tinubu's potential presidential candidacy in 2027.
Wike praised Desmond Akawor for his mobilization efforts and highlighted the establishment of structures across the state. The event showcased a rift between Wike and his former ally, Siminalayi Fubara, who has aligned with the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Wike's support for Tinubu contrasts with uncertainty surrounding his own re-election bid. The governor's remarks underscore his political strategy and ambitions ahead of the 2023 and 2027 elections.
