Rivers State leaders and residents gathered in Andoni Local Government Area on Friday to hear calls for unity from the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike. During his “thank you” visit to the area, Wike encouraged local and state leaders to work together for the development and growth of the community.
He told the people that collaboration among leaders had brought progress to Andoni and assured them that continued unity would attract more benefits and projects. Wike noted that politicians in the state were working under a shared coalition called the “Renewed Hope Family” or Rainbow Coalition, which he said is focused on supporting President Bola Tinubu’s reelection in 2027.
Local representatives, including Ofiks Kagbang from Andoni, acknowledged Wike’s contributions to the area and pledged to follow his guidance in upcoming elections. The council chairman, Prince Otuo, also recognized Wike’s efforts in creating employment opportunities and completing local projects during his tenure as governor. He said the leaders of the area were now mobilized to support the coalition and Tinubu’s reelection bid.
Wike’s visit aimed to encourage cooperation among residents and leaders, stressing that working together under a shared purpose was key to sustaining growth in Andoni and Rivers State at large.
