The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Barr. Nyesom Wike has solicited the support of the people of Rivers State for the administration of President Bola Tinubu.
Wike made the call while speaking during an end-of-the year Thanksgiving Service at Ochiba community in Ahoada-East local government area of the state.
The thanksgiving service was organised by leaders and stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ahoada-East and Ahoada-West LGAs of the state.
The Minister, who is the immediate-past governor of the state, assured that he will use his position to help the people of the state.
