JUST-IN: Wike Issues Strong Message Ahead of 2027 General Elections in Rivers State

 


Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has warned Rivers State’s opposition to him in advance of the general elections in 2027. Wike made it plain that anyone trying to tamper with the voting process will not be permitted to do so during the next elections, according to a Daily Post Nigeria story. He explicitly targeted anyone who could attempt to sway the outcome of the Rivers State House of Assembly with his words.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>

While addressing an audience in Port Harcourt, Wike expressed his dissatisfaction with political actors who may seek to engage in malpractice during the 2027 elections. He warned that any attempts to interfere with the electoral process would not go unnoticed or unchallenged. “You shift blame to other people and that is not acceptable,” he said. He further emphasized that the political environment leading up to the 2027 elections would be markedly different from the local government elections. “The LG election is not a general election,” Wike stated, adding that in a general election, tampering with the process would not be tolerated.

The tension in Rivers State stems from a broader political conflict between Wike and the current governor, Sim Fubara. Both men have been at odds over control of the state’s political affairs, a situation that persists despite attempts by President Bola Tinubu to mediate. Wike’s remarks underscore the ongoing rivalry and set the stage for what could be a highly contentious election period in Rivers State.

Wike’s warning serves as a reminder of the fragile nature of the political climate in the region, where power struggles between factions within the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) continue to dominate. The minister’s resolve to protect the integrity of the electoral process suggests that the 2027 general elections will be heavily scrutinized, with no room for malpractice.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
