Former Rivers State governors Nyesom Wike and Rotimi Amaechi have re-entered the political arena ahead of the 2027 general elections, now supporting opposing presidential candidates. Wike, the immediate past governor and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, is backing President Bola Tinubu's re-election bid. Amaechi, his former political ally, is serving as the running mate to Atiku Abubakar on the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential ticket. Their rivalry, which spans over a decade, continues to shape Rivers State politics as both men vie for influence and control.
