Former Chairman of Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State, Dr Samuel Okechukwu Nwanosike, popularly known as Ishi Nwanosike, has said it will be difficult for the African Democratic Congress, ADC, vice presidential candidate, Rotimi Amaechi, to win the forthcoming general election in the state.
Nwanosike, a loyalist of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, made the statement in a viral video from an event.
He claimed that the people of Ikwerre had derived little benefit from Amaechi despite the former governor having occupied several political positions over the past two decades.
According to him, the political battle ahead of the 2027 elections in Rivers State would go beyond the streets, warning that the contest would be taken to the former governor’s “bedroom”.
Nwanosike’s comments come amid growing political tension in Rivers State ahead of the 2027 general elections.
According to him, “Amaechi was in the house of Assembly two times, Ikwerre people supported him to be governor two times and he was a minister for two tenures.
“Instead of helping the Ikwerre people, he decided to destroy even his friends. Yet he believes that it’s only him that is from the Ikwerre Local Government.
“We are here to tell the world and his political faction that until the Supreme Court decides which faction of the ADC is to be recognized by INEC, they should not bother coming home. E go red.
“We will bring the battle to their bedroom not the street.”
