The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State has passed a resounding vote of confidence in President Bola Tinubu, hailing his leadership as a beacon for Nigeria’s future. The endorsement, made at a party meeting on Monday, comes amid the state’s ongoing impeachment crisis, underscoring loyalty to the national leader despite local tensions.
Party members commended Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope” agenda, crediting it with economic reforms, infrastructure boosts, and security gains. “He’s delivering for Rivers and Nigeria,” a local chairman said, urging unity behind the president for 2027.

The vote ties into broader APC mobilisation. Nationwide e-registration has hit two million verified members, with National Chairman,Professor Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda warning coordinators to deliver or face removal. The drive projects nine million in weeks, promoting transparency for over-18s with NIN and voter’s cards.
In Rivers, the endorsement contrasts the impeachment push against Governor Siminalayi Fubara, rejected by local APC as a “PDP hangover.” The assembly, Wike loyalists, presses charges of misconduct. Tinubu mediates, summoning Wike abroad.
Factional rifts add spice. Tonye Cole warned Fubara’s “illegal” alignment risks legal woes. Wike defied sack calls, saying “only Tinubu decides.”
Rivers elders condemn the plot as “reckless,” fearing unrest. “We need peace,” they said.
