We Don’t Need A Governor To Mobilize For Tinubu – Wike As He Opens Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Office

Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has stated that the people of Rivers State do not need a governor to mobilize support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 elections.

According to a media post by Honourable Lere Olayinka, the Media Aide to the FCT Minister, on Saturday, 7 February 2026, the Minister made the remarks in Port Harcourt while commissioning the Rivers State Renewed Hope Ambassadors headquarters, which houses Majority FM 89.5, a situation room, office facilities, and vehicles for the office.

Wike commended the Coordinator of Rivers State Renewed Hope Ambassadors, Desmond Akawor, for his mobilization efforts, noting that the state is fully prepared to work for the reelection of the President. He said:

“Desmond Akawor, you have shown enough capacity to mobilize, you have moved to all the nooks and crannies of Rivers to talk about Tinubu for President in 2027… We don’t need to have a governor to mobilize for Mr President, we have all it takes on our own.”

He challenged others to learn from Rivers State’s commitment, adding that ward and unit coordinators must now be inaugurated to strengthen grassroots mobilization.

Earlier, Ambassador Desmond Akawor welcomed the Minister, praising his leadership style, which he described as AI politics, and confirmed that the movement has been established across all 23 local governments in the state.
