Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has expressed optimism that President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027 will be easier than his electoral victory in 2023.

Wike spoke on Monday during town hall meetings with the Rumueme and Apara kingdoms in the Obio-Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State.

He said: “Each day I sleep, I am thinking about the president’s re-election. When I am eating, I think about the president’s re-election. Everything I am doing now is about the president’s re-election.

“Let us forget sentiment and vote for the person who has recognised the people of Rivers State with dividends of democracy and several appointments.

“I know the re-election of Tinubu in 2027 will be easier than that of 2023. We should appreciate Tinubu and ensure he gets a massive number of votes. We can do it.”

Wike vowed to ensure that Tinubu gets a second term as president, urging the people of the state to vote in large numbers in 2027.

He said the president had brought several developments to the state and appointed Rivers indigenes to key positions in his administration.
