Minaibim Harry Emerges As National Rescue Movement Governorship Candidate


By: Awajis Josiah-Chijindu 


As political parties gear towards meeting the Independent National Electoral Commission's deadline of submitting party's candidates, The National Rescue Movement, NRM has on Wednesday 27th, May 2026 declared Reverend Minaibim Harry as its Governorship Candidate for the 2027 election. 

Reverend Harry who emerged through consensus will fly the party's flag  in the 2027 Governorship election in Rivers State.

In his declaration, Chairman of the electoral committee who is the National Deputy Chairman of the party, South South, Dr. Lucky Ekeji, said the Governorship candidate was carefully selected among others.

Speaking to Newsmen at the sideline of the event, the NRM Governorship candidate, Reverend Harry said his emergence is timely, considering the political situation in Rivers State.


" I know that everybody have been talking about peace, but I'll bring peace on another level. I'll bring security to the state, I'll bring employment to the youth, housing, healthcare, all of those things that people have been talking about. I'll just bring it to another level.That's what I would do''. 

On the issue of Upland -Riverline dichotomy, the Governorship candidate has this to say.

''Reconciliation is the greatest need of Rivers State at this time.The problem of Upland- Riverine dichotomy is something that shouldn't be there. 


Unfortunately, it has ruined our governance for a very long time. I held series of meetings and I've seen people agitated, people are upset that after 24 years of the governorship being in the upland and now it just came to the Riverine area in less than four years, it is about to be taking back to the upland area. That should not be a problem.

For me., I'm not a riverine candidate. I know that I come from the riverine area, but I'm going to be governor of the entire State. So I'm talking about unity. I want to bring both the Upland and the Riverine people together''. So he said 


He explained that the party is set to rescue the State from darkness, and bring the desired peace that has eluded the people for a very long time.

"Even the name is different - rescue. There's no other party that bears "rescue" in it. So, Rescue Movement is not just by name, we are going to see what rescue mean in action. We are going to rescue our young people from poverty. We're going to rescue our State from insecurity. We're going to rescue our State from disunity. We're going to rescue our State from all manner of evil. That is what is different about our party".


Reverend Harry expressed his gratitude to the party for finding him worthy to be their Governorship candidate, promised an inclusive government.

Our Correspondent reports that representatives of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC; were on ground to monitor the primary election process.

    The people of Rivers state needs an independent candidate, not some one beholden to a godfather.
