iDeemlawfulNyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has commissioned a radio station under the Rivers State Renewed Hope Ambassadors to promote President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid.
The station, Majority FM 89.5, was officially launched on Saturday, February 7, 2025.
The development was disclosed by Wike’s media aide, Lere Olayinka, who shared footage of the commissioning ceremony held at the Rivers State Secretariat of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors in Port Harcourt.
The facility includes multiple studios for interviews as well as a maintenance unit.

Addressing attendees, Wike said the initiative was intended to demonstrate practical support for President Tinubu’s political ambition.
“It is not by newspaper. Our commitment is shown that indeed we are working for Mr President Ahmed Tinubu. We don’t need a governor to mobilise for Mr President. We have what it takes to be on our own.
“There is no governor among us here. We have senators, assembly people, council chairmen, national assembly members, and party chairmen of the APC and PDP.
“We have mobilised ourselves to make commitments to donate because we believe that if you say you are supporting somebody, you don’t need the person to bring their resources. You have to make a commitment, and this is what our leaders have done. Let me once again thank all of you,” Wike said.
Last week, the minister warned that he and his supporters would forcibly access the Yakubu Gowon Stadium for their next rally if the Rivers State Government continued to deny them entry, stating that “heaven will not fall” if the facility was damaged.
Wike made the remarks in Port Harcourt during the inauguration of senatorial and local government coordinators of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, an event organised to back President Tinubu’s administration ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He said his group had formally requested use of the stadium but was turned down by the state government, describing the refusal as unprecedented.
“We applied to the state government to use the Yakubu Gowon Stadium, and they refused. Next time, if we apply and they refuse again, we will break it, and nothing will happen,” Wike said.
He added that Rivers State was leading political mobilisation efforts and would continue to set the pace in demonstrating support for the president.
