FCT Minister Nyesom Wike says Rivers politics has moved beyond the rivalry between APC and PDP, insisting that all political actors must unite to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Wike made the statement during a special visit to Etche Local Government Area, organised by the council, emphasizing that the focus in the state is no longer on party affiliation but on advancing the Renewed Hope agenda.
“There is no APC or PDP in Rivers. What we have is Renewed Hope, and everybody must work together to deliver the President,” Wike said.
The minister explained that his visit was to appreciate the people of Etche for their years of support, stressing that gratitude is essential for sustainable leadership and development.
“I came to thank you for the support you have given us over the years. God detests ungratefulness. Anyone who is not grateful for the good done to them will eventually go down,” he added.
Reaffirming his loyalty to President Tinubu, Wike declared that Rivers State has made a clear political choice and must uphold it. “As far as the state is concerned, we have chosen President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Agreement is agreement, and when you enter into an agreement, you must keep to it,” he said.
Earlier, Etche Local Government Chairman Hon. Chima Njoku welcomed the minister and his entourage, assuring him of the unwavering support of the people. Njoku said the local government is ready to work tirelessly to secure the victory of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, noting that the people of Etche remain committed to the success of his administration.
