He described Rivers people as politically enlightened voters, insisting that their previous voting record demonstrated their capacity to make decisive electoral choices.

Akpabio also praised Wike for his political influence and performance as FCT minister, saying Rivers State should be proud of the calibre of leaders it had produced.

He described Tinubu as a leader who knows how to appoint people to strategic positions, adding that the President’s economic policies and reforms were reasons Nigerians should support his re-election.
