The Rivers State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Tony Okocha, has commended President Bola Tinubu, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, and Governor Siminalayi Fubara for their respective contributions to the party’s presidential campaign rally in the state.
Okocha also expressed appreciation to party leaders, members, supporters and other stakeholders for their participation in the rally, which was held at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State.
In a statement, the APC chairman described the impressive turnout as a demonstration of the party’s growing support base in Rivers State and a strong endorsement of Tinubu’s re-election bid ahead of the 2027 general election.
He attributed the attendance to the party’s mobilisation efforts and the commitment of its members and supporters to the President’s second-term ambition.
Okocha commended Tinubu for what he described as bold economic and infrastructure policies, highlighting interventions in transportation, education, student financing, workers’ welfare and fiscal reforms.
According to him, although the administration’s policies have brought difficult economic adjustments, they are intended to reposition the Nigerian economy, strengthen national development and create opportunities for citizens.
The Rivers APC chairman particularly praised Wike, who serves as the state campaign coordinator and leader of the Rainbow Coalition, for his role in mobilising supporters for the rally.
He described the former Rivers State governor as an experienced political strategist with extensive grassroots connections and the capacity to galvanise political support.
Okocha also acknowledged Governor Fubara’s contribution to the rally, describing it as a demonstration of political cooperation and collective commitment to the APC’s presidential campaign.
He urged party members to sustain the momentum generated by the rally through grassroots mobilisation, political enlightenment and greater internal cohesion.
Reaffirming the Rivers APC’s commitment to Tinubu’s re-election, Okocha assured the President of the state chapter’s readiness to intensify its campaign activities ahead of the 2027 polls.
He also thanked party leaders, women, youths and other supporters who participated in the rally, urging them to remain united and committed to the party’s political objectives.
The rally and Okocha’s subsequent remarks underscore the significance of the political alliance involving Tinubu, Wike and Fubara in the APC’s efforts to consolidate its support in Rivers State ahead of the 2027 general election.
