During a thanksgiving service for Senator Barinada Mpigi, Nyesom Wike made a bold statement regarding the upcoming 2027 elections, claiming victory for his party and highlighting the state’s unique political landscape. This statement raises questions about political alliances, campaign strategies, and potential concerns about the electoral process.
Wike, who is the FCT Minister, said, “With the forces we have I don’t know of anybody who can challenge us. I can tell you it is like tomorrow is 2027. For me it is still very far, I can’t wait. The two leadership of the party, APC is here, PDP is here; where can you find that leadership unity? Which state? It is only in Rivers that you can find that unity.
“And that is what many people don’t like. When they see people united and working together, they find how to make sure they are divided but since we know, we have refused to be divided.
“This is the only state where the leading party will win for president, the opposition party will take national assembly in election that was done the same time, same minute and same hour. That is uncommon.”
Overall, Wike’s statement throws light on the unique political dynamics in Rivers State and raises critical questions about the upcoming elections. It remains crucial to analyze the specifics of his claims, investigate potential concerns about interference, and ensure a fair and transparent electoral process in 2027.
