Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, says candidates supported by his Rainbow Coalition, made up of members of different political parties in Rivers will win all elective positions in the state in 2027.

Wike stated this on Wednesday, during his “thank you” visit to Asari Toru Local Government Area of the state.

The Rainbow Coalition was under the Renewed Hope Family, initiated by Wike to galvanise support for the reelection of President Bola Tinubu for second term in the state.

The initiative collapsed all political party allegiance under one roof – the renewed hope family in Rivers.

Wike reiterated that Rivers politicians have moved beyond party politics to unite for the interest of all, under the renewed hope family.

“After Tinubu, the rainbow coalition will produce every elective position in Rivers State in 2027.

“So, If you don’t belong to this rainbow family forget it,” the minister said.

Wike, who outlined some of the benefits the Rivers people were currently enjoying for supporting Tinubu in 2023, assured them that “this year will be better than last year”.

He thanked the people for standing firm on their decision to support Tinubu for the progress of the state.

He also commended the community leaders for their support and loyalty, adding that the risk they took in 2023 was now yielding positive results.

“Continue on this track and you will continue to reap good results. I assure you that I will stand with you at the appropriate time,” Wike said.

Earlier, the chairman of the council, Mr Onengiyeofori George, thank Wike for all he had done for the LGA, assuring him that the people were united under his renewed hope family.

Similarly, Chief Michael West, representing Asari Toru Constituency II in the State Assembly, commended Wike for galvanising support for Tinubu.

Describing the minister as a “good leader’ the lawmaker praised the minister for making an Ijaw man a governor in the state, the first since the return of democracy in the country.

West pledged the continued support of the people, stressing they would follow him wherever he goes.
