Federal Capital Territory FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, has said he is coordinating President Bola Tinubu’s re-election campaign in Rivers State because the situation there is peculiar, with Rivers the only state where the campaign is not coordinated by the sitting All Progressives Congress APC governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
