Siminalayi Fubara, Rivers State governor, and Nyesom Wike, minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), on Thursday set a target of delivering massive votes for President Bola Tinubu, Kingsley Chinda and other candidates of the Rainbow Coalition as the APC inaugurated its Presidential Campaign Council in Port Harcourt.
Fubara, who spoke at the inauguration in Port Harcourt, noted that the surest path to victory is for members of the campaign council, drawn from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Wike-led Rainbow Coalition, to embrace the spirit of teamwork.
He said the state is now witnessing a repeat of the successful mobilisation in 2022 and 2023, when a large campaign council worked in unity to deliver victory for him and President Tinubu.
He added that the present council is bigger, wider and better coordinated, and should therefore achieve even better results.
Fubara noted that the beauty of the new council is that some persons who were in the opposition camp during the previous elections are now part of the team, adding that their inclusion has made the task easier, provided everyone works as one team and with sincerity of purpose.
He thanked Wike, who is also coordinator of the Presidential Campaign Council for Rivers State, and other leaders who worked to bring the council to fruition, adding that nothing is impossible when people work together for a common purpose.

Fubara expressed optimism that, with seriousness and commitment, the state would record a higher number of votes than it recorded in 2023.
The governor said the state has gone past the stage of division and is now looking to the future and what God holds for the Rivers people. He expressed confidence that, with the strategy already in place, the APC and the Rainbow Coalition would emerge victorious in 2027.
The FCT minister, while inaugurating the campaign team, lauded Fubara for finding time to attend the ceremony and other engagements of the council despite his busy schedule.
Wike, who is also the national leader of the PDP/Rainbow Coalition, reminded members of the campaign council that each of them was chosen based on their capacity to participate in the activities of the group and deliver positive results.
He charged them to work hard to win votes for the candidates of the APC and the Rainbow Coalition in the presidential, governorship, National Assembly and State House of Assembly elections next year.
He disclosed that, apart from the Presidential Campaign Council and its sub-committees, local government campaign councils would soon be inaugurated to ensure better coverage of the grassroots during the current campaign season.
Wike also emphasised the need for every member of the council to work hard towards the delivery of massive votes for the candidates of the APC and Rainbow Coalition in the forthcoming elections.
