Former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Prince Chibudom Nwuche, has brought together stakeholders from Ahoada East and Ahoada West local government areas of Rivers State to declare support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Chief Nyesom Wike.
Nwuche, who convened members of both the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) under the Team Rivers for Tinubu (TRT) platform, also expressed gratitude to President Tinubu and Wike for his appointment as Chairman of the Southsouth Development Commission (SSDC).
Addressing elders, women, youths, and party leaders, Nwuche said President Tinubu had shown genuine love to Wike, the people of Rivers, and the Niger Delta, noting that all stakeholders should rally behind his administration.
He commended Tinubu for standing firmly with Wike and providing him with the resources and encouragement needed to deliver his vision for the FCT.
Describing Wike as “an excellent performer,” Nwuche said the former Rivers governor had transformed Abuja just as he revitalised Rivers State during his tenure.
He said, “The FCT is now wearing a new look with many projects completed and ongoing. Even those, who do not like the government can’t deny the fact that the government of President Tinubu with Chief Nyesom Wike is delivering the dividends of democracy and is performing spectacularly well”.
Nwuche urged all stakeholders to support Tinubu for a second term in 2027 saying no coalition would stop the President’s reelection.

He told the people not to be cajoled by the coalition leaders, whom he described as people united by their hunger for power without any genuine intentions for development.
He said, “President Tinubu came and in his first tenure removed subsidy, which they could not do when they were in power. With the bold reforms and economic transformation of President Tinubu, the states are awashed with money and the governors have a lot of money at their disposal to pay salaries and execute projects. The President inherited tough economic challenges, but he is tackling them”.
Nwuche wondered why the coalition leaders were showing desperate hunger for power, a few years after leaving their various political positions and asked them to try again after Tinubu’s eight years in office.
He said, “These people just left power, but they are already hungry for it again. Some of us left our positions about 20 years ago, but are still supporting genuine courses. We are not doing any coalition of power grabbing with them. We are going to support Tinubu’s second term. It is the turn of the South to do eight years and President Tinubu is doing a wonderful job of it.”
