Rivers State Governor Hope Udeh, Nyesom Wike, has declared that the people of Rivers State will support President Bola Tinubu over ADC candidate Rotimi Amaechi in the 2027 election. In a statement on Saturday, Wike recalled Amaechi's decision in 2015 to support former President Muhammadu Buhari over then-President Goodluck Jonathan.
According to Wike, Amaechi did not contribute anything to the people of Rivers State during his tenure as Minister of Transportation. He criticized Amaechi for relocating the University of Transportation to Daura, Katsina State, at the expense of Rivers State. Wike reiterated the 2014 definition of a brother, stating that it is one who identifies with us in terms of problems and not based on blood relation.
He accused Amaechi of failing to recognize this definition, as evidenced by his support for Jonathan. Wike emphasized that Tinubu has now identified with them, and they have adopted him as their brother. He concluded that Rivers State will vote for Tinubu over Amaechi and the ADC.
