A prominent chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has publicly called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to appoint the Honourable Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barr. Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, as the Director-General of his presidential re-election campaign for the 2027 general elections.
The appeal highlights Minister Wike's proven track record of strategic political leadership, grassroots mobilization, and unwavering commitment to the Renewed Hope agenda. As the former Governor of Rivers State, Wike has consistently demonstrated his ability to deliver electoral victories, foster unity across party lines, and drive massive support for progressive causes.
In recent months, Rivers State has emerged as a pacesetter in mobilizing support for President Tinubu's re-election bid. Under Wike's influence, political structures in the state including elements from both the APC and PDP have aligned to champion the president's achievements in infrastructure, economic reforms, security, and national unity.
The minister has repeatedly declared that Rivers will lead the way in delivering a resounding mandate for Tinubu in 2027, emphasizing that effective leadership and results-oriented politics transcend party affiliations.
The Rivers APC chieftain's recommendation underscores the strategic importance of leveraging Wike's political capital, organizational prowess, and widespread acceptance in the South-South region.
Appointing him as Campaign DG would harness his energy to expand the Renewed Hope coalition nationwide, ensuring stronger outreach, voter engagement, and victory in key states.
Minister Wike has been a key ally in advancing President Tinubu's vision, serving diligently in the cabinet while championing policies that benefit all Nigerians. His leadership in Rivers has positioned the state as a model of political mobilization ahead of 2027.
This call from within the APC in Rivers State reflects growing confidence in Wike's capacity to steer a successful national campaign.
Stakeholders believe his appointment would further solidify support in the oil-rich region and inspire similar momentum across the country.
President Tinubu's administration continues to record milestones in Renewed Hope initiatives, and with strong, visionary leadership like that of Minister Wike, the path to a renewed mandate in 2027 appears even more assured.
