Ejekwu Becomes PDP Governorship Candidate for Rivers 2027

Sam Ejekwu has been declared the consensus governorship candidate for the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State for the upcoming 2027 elections. This announcement was made by Tajudeen Yusuf, the head of the electoral committee, following a smooth and transparent voting process across local government areas in the state.

Ejekwu, who previously served as the Commissioner for Transport in Rivers State, expressed confidence in the strength of the PDP and highlighted the massive turnout and support for the party. He emphasized the readiness of the PDP to secure victory in the forthcoming elections.

The emergence of Ejekwu as the PDP candidate is seen as a significant development, particularly in the context of the political landscape shaped by Nyesom Wike, the former governor of Rivers State, and the Rainbow Coalition, which aims to produce candidates from the two main political parties in the state ahead of the 2027 general elections.
