2027 Drama: Wike Reminds Tinubu "My Ikwerre People Delivered Rivers in 2023, Not Fubara's Ijaw"

‪@pauluwadima‬

Dive into the latest political fireworks in Rivers State as FCT Minister Nyesom Wike takes a bold shot at President Bola Tinubu and the APC leadership. During a Christmas visit to Emohua LGA, Wike proudly declared that it was the massive votes from Ikwerre land (Emohua, Ikwerre, Obio/Akpor, and Port Harcourt City LGAs) that secured President Tinubu's victory in Rivers State during the 2023 presidential election – not Governor Sim Fubara's Ijaw ethnic group.
Wike emphasized: "In 2023, when it was difficult and nobody knew what would happen, we came out strong as Ikwerre sons and delivered for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu." This statement comes amid reports of APC endorsing Governor Sim Fubara for a second term in 2027, sparking questions about loyalty and political rewards.
However, independent investigations by BBC and Premium Times, analyzing INEC's own polling unit data on IREV, revealed significant discrepancies: Their tallies showed Labour Party's Peter Obi actually leading in Rivers State by a wide margin before the official results flipped in favor of Tinubu – raising serious allegations of manipulation, especially in key areas like Obio/Akpor.
Is this a reminder of past alliances or a warning shot in the ongoing Wike-Fubara rift? Watch the full breakdown of Wike's speech, the 2023 election controversy, and what it means for 2027 politics in Rivers State!
