A radio station has been launched for the Rivers State Renewed Hope Ambassadors to boost President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid ahead of the 2027 elections.
The station, Majority FM 89.5, was commissioned in Rivers State by the former governor and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike. The development was made public by Wike’s media aide, Lere Olayinka, who shared a video of the event held at the Renewed Hope Ambassadors’ secretariat in Port Harcourt.
The newly commissioned radio station is equipped with different studios for interviews as well as a maintenance unit to support its operations.
Addressing supporters at the event, Wike said the radio station was a clear sign of commitment to President Tinubu’s political ambition.
“It is not by newspaper. Our commitment is shown that indeed we are working for Mr President Ahmed Tinubu. We don’t need a governor to mobilise for Mr President. We have what it takes to be on our own.
“There is no governor among us here. We have senators, assembly people, council chairmen, national assembly members, and party chairmen of the APC and PDP.
“We have mobilised ourselves to make commitments to donate because we believe that if you say you are supporting somebody, you don’t need the person to bring their resources. You have to make a commitment, and this is what our leaders have done. Let me once again thank all of you,” Wike said.
Meanwhile, the minister had last week warned that he and his supporters would force their way into the Yakubu Gowon Stadium for their next rally if the Rivers State Government continues to block their access. He stated that “heaven will not fall” even if the facility is damaged.
Wike gave the warning in Port Harcourt during the inauguration of senatorial and local government coordinators of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors. The event was organised to support President Tinubu’s administration ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He explained that his group had officially applied to the state government to use the stadium but was turned down, describing the refusal as something he had never seen before.
“We applied to the state government to use the Yakubu Gowon Stadium, and they refused. Next time, if we apply and they refuse again, we will break it, and nothing will happen,” Wike said.
Wike also said Rivers State was leading the way in political mobilisation, stressing that the state would continue to show strong support for the President.
