In 2027, Rivers Will Come Out Vote Massively Against Tinubu, Over The Madness Cause By Wike—Nwala

According to a report by Arise News, on Wednesday October 7, 2026, Chetam Nwala, a prominent resident of Port Harcourt, has voiced strong public resistance against the ongoing political influence of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, declaring that the people of Rivers State will resist attempts to treat the state as a private domain.

Speaking in an interview addressing the protracted political unrest in the oil-rich state, Nwala urged citizens to arise and reclaim their political sovereignty ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Nwala expressed deep resentment over what he described as an overbearing control exerted by the former governor over state affairs, asserting that Rivers State belongs to its electorate rather than individual political figures.

“Rivers State must end this hegemony. Rivers people must arise and end this hegemony in Rivers State. We are not a conquered territory,” Nwala declared.

He strongly rejected the notion that the FCT Minister maintains absolute authority over the governance and political trajectory of the state:

“The FCT minister cannot continue to control Rivers State like it is personal estate. Rivers State is not a personal estate of the FCT minister.”

Looking ahead to the next general election cycle, Nwala warned that the electorate in Rivers State would channel their frustration with the ongoing political instability directly into the ballot box.

“And in 2027, Rivers will come all out, vote massively against Bola Tinubu, massively against Wike, because we are tired of the madness in Rivers State being caused by the minister alongside the president of this country,” he warned.
