The people of Rivers State have selected President Bola Tinubu as their candidate in the January 2027 presidential election, according to Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
While welcoming Tinubu and his delegation to the president’s campaign rally at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt on Saturday, Wike made this statement. He serves as the state’s presidential campaign council coordinator
Wike said: “Your Excellency, this is Rivers State’s rally. We did not mobilise anybody from any other state. You can see with your eyes that the people of Rivers State have already concluded and agreed that on January 16, they will vote for you.
“Since the inception of democracy in 1999, Rivers people have never had it this way. We have no less than 47 political appointments from Mr President.
“So, who is our brother? Our brother is Bola Ahmed Tinubu because he has identified with the people of Rivers state.
“All we are saying to the vice-presidential candidate is, please, come and give an account of how you fumigated Rivers state. You fumigated Rivers state so that there would be no mosquitoes.
“Have mosquitoes gone? Are mosquitoes not biting you?”
In the end, Wike speaks for himself—not for every Rivers State resident. People should be free to make their own political choices without anyone dictating or intimidating them.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
