Rivers: We don’t need a governor to mobilise support for Tinubu – Wike

Wike

Nyesom Wike, minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), says his team does not need the backing of a sitting governor to mobilise support for President Bola Tinubu in Rivers state ahead of the 2027 elections.

While speaking on Saturday in Port Harcourt during the inauguration of the ‘renewed hope ambassadors’ headquarters’, Wike said his team has what it takes to deliver support for Tinubu’s re-election in the state.

Wike, who commended Desmond Akawor, coordinator of Rivers’ renewed hope ambassadors, for his mobilisation drive, said the state would work massively for the re-election of the president.“We don’t need to have a governor to mobilise for Mr President; we don’t need it. We have all it takes to be on our own. We have senators, assembly people, council chairmen, national assembly members, and party chairmen of APC and PDP. We have mobilised ourselves to make a commitment. If you say you are supporting somebody, there is no need for the person to bring his resources; you have to make a commitment, and this is what our leaders have done.” Thecable
