By Daniel Abia PORT HARCOURT — A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Princewill Dike, has described the turnout at Tuesday’s Rainbow Coalition rally in Port Harcourt as evidence of the political influence and mobilisation capacity of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
Dike, who spoke at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium, venue of the rally to unveil coalition candidates for the 2027 general elections, attributed the large turnout to Wike’s political organisation, grassroots connections and ability to mobilise supporters.
He said the gathering had sent a message to those questioning the level of support enjoyed by President Bola Tinubu in Rivers State. “The massive crowd at the gathering is an indication that the President has substantial political backing in the state, contrary to claims by antagonists of the FCT Minister’s political influence,” he said. The activist expressed satisfaction with the rally, attributing its success to effective planning and the commitment of supporters who turned out to identify with the political movement. He described Wike as a pace-setter, adding that the minister’s political achievements and mobilisation record would be difficult for opponents to surpass.
