Wike Declares Kingsley Chinda Will Be Rivers Governor in 2027
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has declared that Honourable Kingsley Chinda will emerge as the Governor of Rivers State in 2027.
Wike made the statement during a warm reception organised in his honour by Ogbakor Ikwerre, the socio-cultural organisation of the Ikwerre ethnic nationality, at Obiri-Ehie.
Addressing the gathering of traditional rulers, community leaders, youths and other stakeholders, the FCT Minister expressed confidence in Chinda’s emergence as the next governor of the state.
Kingsley Chinda, a long-time political ally of Wike and the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate for Rivers State, has been widely regarded as the preferred successor following the political realignments in the state.
The warm reception by Ogbakor Ikwerre underscored the continued support of the Ikwerre people for Wike and his preferred candidate as the state prepares for the 2027 general elections.
