President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has received a significant boost in his 2027 presidential campaign as Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, announced a target of three million votes for Tinubu in Rivers State. Wike inaugurated the Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC)/Rainbow Coalition Presidential Campaign Council during a rally in Port Harcourt. The event marked a strategic move to consolidate support in a key electoral region.
Wike, who coordinates the Tinubu Campaign Council, emphasized the importance of unity and collective effort in securing the presidency. He stated that the campaign would focus on mobilizing grassroots support and engaging local leaders to ensure a strong showing. The target of three million votes reflects the potential of Rivers State, which has historically been a stronghold for the APC.
This development comes as Tinubu continues to strengthen his political base ahead of the 2027 election. His administration has also been working on economic reforms, with recent reports indicating that non-oil sectors now account for 96% of Nigeria’s GDP. Despite challenges, Tinubu’s government has maintained a focus on economic growth and stability.
The campaign in Rivers State is part of a broader strategy to expand APC’s influence across the country. With multiple governors and political figures aligning with Tinubu, the 2027 election is shaping up as a highly competitive race. As the campaign intensifies, the focus remains on delivering tangible results for the Nigerian people.
