Following the recent defection of Governor Siminialayi Fubara from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the All Progressives Congress, APC, fold, he has drum support for the reelection of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 Election.

 

Governor Fubara appealed to the people of Rivers State to rally behind the President on his reelection bid, saying that the state stands to benefit more when the federal and state governments align.

 

He made the appeal on Thursday during the commissioning of 12 km Egbeda–Omerelu link road connecting communities in Emohua and Ikwerre Local Government Areas.

 

He stated his administration is willing to work with all pro-Tinubu groups and stakeholders committed to the President’s re-election, stating that stability at the national level is vital for sustained development in the state.

 

Describing the newly completed road as another promise fulfilled, the Governor further stated that it is an inclusive development, which remained a central priority of his administration, adding that every part of the state will feel the impact of his administration on project execution, noting that no community, whether urban or rural, will be left behind as his administration continues to roll out people-orientated infrastructure.

 

He however appealed to Rivers people to maintain peace, emphasising that progress cannot be achieved in an environment driven by conflict.

 

He also urged residents to remain hopeful and united, promising that more development projects will be unveiled across the state as part of his commitment to building a prosperous and inclusive Rivers State.
