Rivers State’s Renewed Hope Ambassadors have officially launched a radio station to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.
The station, Majority FM 89.5, was commissioned in Port Harcourt by the state’s immediate past governor and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
Wike’s media aide, Lere Olayinka, shared a video of the commissioning at the Rivers State Secretariat of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, showing the station’s multiple studios for interviews and a fully-equipped maintenance unit.
Speaking at the event, Wike described the project as a demonstration of commitment to President Tinubu’s ambition.
He said, “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.”
Last week, Wike had issued a warning over the use of the Yakubu Gowon Stadium, saying he and his supporters would forcibly access the venue if denied entry in the future.
Speaking in Port Harcourt during the inauguration of senatorial and local government coordinators of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, he said, “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.”
He further emphasized Rivers State’s leading role in political mobilisation, asserting that the state would continue to set the pace in demonstrating support for the President.
