Wike Says Amaechi, David Mark Cannot Deliver Rivers, Benue to ADC in 2027

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has stated that former Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi lacks the capacity to deliver Rivers State to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in the 2027 elections.

Speaking with reporters in Abuja, Wike cited past elections where Amaechi, despite serving as campaign director-general for former President Buhari, failed to secure victories in Rivers. Wike also questioned whether ADC National Chairman David Mark can deliver Benue State.

Key Points:

Wike claims Rivers State remains politically resistant to Amaechi’s influence.
Amaechi’s past electoral defeats in Rivers are cited as evidence of his weakness.
David Mark’s daughter reportedly won in Benue under APC, not PDP or ADC.
Wike’s comments challenge ADC’s national prospects ahead of 2027.
The remarks escalate political tensions between key opposition figures.

The ADC will need to prove its electoral strength in states like Rivers and Benue to counter Wike’s claims.
