President Tinubu Arrives in Port Harcourt for 2027 Campaign Rally

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has arrived in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, for a campaign rally supporting his bid for re-election in 2027. He landed on Saturday, November 7, after visiting Akwa Ibom State, where he inaugurated several projects.

At the Obafemi Jeremiah Awolowo International Airport, Tinubu was welcomed by Vice President Kashim Shettima, six governors from the South-South region, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, among other officials.

This rally is part of the APC’s efforts to gather support for Tinubu’s second term ahead of the upcoming general elections. The event will take place at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium, hosted by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.

Wike expressed optimism that the rally would draw over 70,000 supporters and stated that all preparations were complete. He emphasized the enthusiasm of Rivers residents to welcome the President, noting that this is Tinubu’s first visit to the state since taking office in May 2023.

Wike recalled that the last time Tinubu visited was when he was President-elect, during which he also commissioned projects in the area. The Port Harcourt rally follows Tinubu’s recent engagements in Akwa Ibom, where he opened the Victor Attah International Airport and other infrastructure projects.
