The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has drawn attention to what he described as Rivers State’s outstanding political unity as he continues to mobilise support for President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Wike made the remarks on Sunday during a “thank-you” tour of Ahoada West Local Government Area, where he applauded residents for setting aside partisan differences.
According to the minister, politics in Rivers State has moved beyond rigid loyalty to the All Progressives Congress (APC) or the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), transforming into what he termed the “Renewed Hope Family.”
According to Wike, this cross‑party cooperation, which he likened to a “rainbow coalition”, sets Rivers apart from other states and demonstrates its unique capacity for inclusiveness and shared purpose.
He urged other states to adopt a similar broad‑based unity as the nation prepares for the 2027 elections.
Wike stressed that the state’s political strength lies not in party labels, but in the collective determination of its people.
He described Rivers as a model of organic unity where political focus is driven by common goals rather than partisan interests.
The minister expressed confidence that this spirit of cooperation will continue and reiterated his firm support for President Tinubu’s reelection bid, noting the state’s overwhelming backing for the president even when others doubted his chances.
