Minister Nyesom Wike inaugurated the Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC)/Rainbow Coalition Presidential Campaign Council, declaring that 3 million votes for President Tinubu's 2027 re-election are within reach through dedicated effort. Announcing the council's formation, Wike urged the 700 members to shift from traditional rally-style politics to grassroots door-to-door campaigning, targeting voters by visiting communities, family gatherings, and marketplaces.
He set a daily voter acquisition quota of five per member and a daily commitment of at least five new votes. Upon completion of the state-wide council inauguration, local government bodies would establish their own councils with leaders appointed by Monday. Wike defended the coalition model, asserting it as a mathematical guarantee of a strong victory by pooling votes across party affiliations.
Governor Siminalayi Fubara pledged full support for the coalition, highlighting its broader and more coordinated structure compared to the 2023 campaign. Other political rivals were urged to focus on cooperative efforts rather than internal divisions, with all stakeholders committed to delivering the three million votes necessary for Tinubu's re-election success.
