The Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has vowed that the ‘leadership mistake’ in Rivers will be corrected in 2027.
Wike stated this during a ‘thank you’ visit to the people of Khana in Bori, Khana Local Government Area of Rivers.
He said that he was not in the community for politics but to thank the people for standing with him and President Bola Tinubu.
According to him, leaders are elected to represent the will of the people, and not for personal agenda.
“We will not make the same mistake again at the state level in 2027, but we will talk about it later when the time comes.
“Just follow your leaders. Anywhere you see them going, that is where we are going,” he said.
Wike noted that the people of Khana took a risk and supported Tinubu in 2023 when others were afraid to do so.
“During the turbulent period, Khana stood with us and now you have benefitted, from good roads to the university of environment, among others, because of the love of Mr President.
“So many appointments have come to Ogoniland and more are still coming,” he said.
The minister pointed out that the Rivers people would no longer vote based on party, but based on ‘family’ for the development of the state under Tinubu’s ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’.
