Monday, February 9, 2026 -Nigerians on social media are currently debating over a radio station current Minister of the FCT and past governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike, launched to campaign for President Tinubu' re-election in 2027.
Wike who is in a running battle with his successor and
incumbent governor of the state, Sim Fubatra, launched the radio station on
Saturday, February 7. His media aide, Lere Olayinka, who posted a video from
the opening of the station, wrote
‘’Rivers
State Renewed Hope Ambassadors don get Radio Station on top Tinubu’s matter.
It is
Majority FM 89.5.
Located
right inside the Renewed Hope Ambassadors' office in Port Harcourt that the FCT
Minister, Nyesom Wike just commissioned.''
While some Nigerians lauded Wike's move, others argued that
it smarks of eyeservice. They wonder what would become of the radio station
after the elections in 2027. Others opined that Wike is only doing this to
prove to President Tinubu that he is more valuable in the re-election bid than
Governor Fubara who has found favor in the sight of some APC chieftains.
An X-user wondered the legality of having a radio station being opened for election campaigning. He asked how the National Broadcasting Commission NBC granted such approval for a radio station
