Rivers national assembly caucus backs Tinubu’s re-election

The Rivers state lawmakers in the national assembly have pledged their support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.

The lawmakers declared their support for the president in a statement jointly signed by the caucus members and read by Barry Mpigi, the senator representing Rivers south-east.

The caucus, made up of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lawmakers — two senators and seven house of representatives members — said their position was based on the success so far recorded under the renewed hope agenda.

They also asked other politicians nursing presidential ambitions to shelve their plans, insisting that Tinubu’s renewed hope agenda offers Nigeria the clearest path to “prosperity” and “progress”.
