Rivers: Wike backs Chinda as APC gubernatorial candidate,

Nyesom Wike, the governor of Rivers State and leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, publicly endorsed former Minister of State for Education Chibuike “Chinda” Rotimi as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the 2023 Rivers gubernatorial election. The endorsement was notable because Wike is a PDP figure supporting an opposition party’s candidate, reflecting intra‑state political dynamics and attempts to influence the election outcome.
