In a significant development for Nigerian politics, the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has announced that Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, will lead the re-election campaign for President Bola Tinubu in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and Rivers State. According to Premium Times Nigeria, Mr Wike made this announcement during a meeting with members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in his Port Harcourt residence on Saturday.
The governor said he would soon inaugurate the campaign team for President Tinubu in the FCT and Rivers. The APC is the ruling party in Nigeria, with Tinubu as its national leader. This move marks a strategic alliance between Wike and Tinubu, two influential political figures from different regions.
The decision comes ahead of the 2027 general elections, where President Tinubu will seek re-election if he decides to contest. The news has sparked discussions about the potential impact of this partnership on the political landscape in Nigeria.
The announcement was not immediately confirmed by President Tinubu or his campaign team. However, it aligns with Wike’s earlier statements indicating his support for Tinubu’s presidency.
