Wike Says Tinubu Is the Only Candidate Who Can Win Rivers in 2027

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike says President Bola Tinubu is the only candidate capable of winning Rivers State in the 2027 presidential election. Speaking at his monthly media chat in Abuja, Wike urged political observers to exclude Rivers from their calculations unless they are counting votes for Tinubu. He said a cross-party coalition involving members of the PDP, APC, Labour Party, Action Alliance and other groups had agreed to work together in Rivers State. According to him, the coalition will support candidates considered acceptable to the people, regardless of their party affiliation. Wike maintained that the alliance is focused on securing development for Rivers State and supporting Tinubu’s re-election. He also cited his experience in Rivers politics and claimed his influence comes from the trust residents have in his leadership.

What makes Wike so certain Rivers is already settled for Tinubu in 2027, especially this far ahead of the election?

Exactly, 2027 is still far off; politics can change before breakfast.

The statement is notable because it frames Rivers as a decisive political calculation rather than a state voters may still reassess.

Political endorsements matter, but saying only one candidate can win a whole state sounds more confident than the current situation warrants.

Observers should track party structures, local alliances, and voter sentiment in Rivers before treating any 2027 prediction as fixed.
