Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has deployed more than 80 campaign buses for candidates of the Rainbow Coalition in Rivers State ahead of President Bola Tinubu’s visit.
The buses were provided for the campaign teams and coordinators of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Wike’s media aide, Lere Olayinka, announced the development in a Facebook post on Friday.
He said the vehicles were driven through major streets of Port Harcourt before proceeding to a stadium as part of activities ahead of the president’s visit.

President Tinubu is expected to visit Rivers State on Saturday for a campaign rally ahead of the January 16 presidential election.
However, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Rivers State has criticised the planned visit.
The party said Rivers residents still remember the state of emergency imposed on the state by Tinubu during the political crisis.
