Rainbow Coalition Declares Tinubu's Unstoppable 2027 Victory in Rivers!

Professor Itotenaan Ogiri, the federal commissioner representing Rivers State in the National Population Commission (NPC) and a member of the Rainbow Coalition’s Reconciliation Committee, has expressed strong confidence in President Bola Tinubu's victory in the 2027 presidential election within Rivers State. Ogiri's assertion highlights the growing influence and strategic objectives of the Rainbow Coalition, a political alliance founded by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Chief Nyesom Wike.

The Rainbow Coalition is a significant political force, drawing together prominent members from various major parties, including the Action Alliance (AA), the All Progressives Congress (APC), the Labour Party (LP), and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). This broad-based alliance, led by Chief Wike in Rivers State, is not only consolidating support locally but is also reportedly attracting interest from other states planning to join its ranks to collectively back President Tinubu in the upcoming 2027 elections.

Professor Ogiri's declaration was made on Saturday during a pivotal event: the foundation laying ceremony for the construction of an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Computer Based Tests (CBT) centre. This significant project is located at Ayama-Abua in Abua/Odual local government area of Rivers State and is named in honor of the former Minister of State for Environment, Hon. Udi Odum. The initiative is a collaborative effort between the Abua/Odual Local Government Council and Hon. John Iderima, who represents the Abua/Odual Constituency in the Rivers State House of Assembly, demonstrating a commitment to local development and technological advancement.

During his address, Ogiri issued a fervent call for widespread support from the people of Abua/Odual LGA for Chief Wike, emphasizing the critical role their participation would play in delivering on the coalition's mandate. He urged citizens to actively engage their families and communities, encouraging massive voter turnout, stating, “We are talking about numbers, Abua/Odual will want to be among the top three in Rivers State that will deliver Tinubu and all our candidates in 2027.”

Furthermore, Ogiri appealed to the leadership of the Ogbo Abuan clan within the LGA to work closely with the state's political leadership, headed by Wike, to ensure that the area benefits from increased development. He underscored the competitive nature of politics, where the objective is to bring benefits to one's constituents. He praised Hon. John Dominic Iderima for his efforts in bringing projects to the seven clans of Abua/Odual, reinforcing the message that local support for political leaders translates into tangible development.

Reiterating his conviction, Ogiri firmly stated, “And let me announce to all of us here, Tinubu will be re-elected in 2027. Forget about all those who are contesting with him. Of course, it is politics; people must come out and that is why it is called election. But Tinubu will be re-elected in 2027 and by the special grace of God, our leader, Barrister Nyesom Ezenwo Wike will still be the strong man of Nigerian politics under Tinubu.” He concluded by extending gratitude to the initiators of the ICT/CBT project, including the LGA chairman, Hon. Owolobi Micheal Ofori, and Hon. Iderima, for their focus on projects that directly benefit the populace.
