The National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Ajibola Basiru, urged the people of Rivers State to back President Bola Tinubu and Governor Siminalayi Fubara in the 2027 general elections. He made the appeal during the inauguration of the newly completed Permanent Secretaries’ Quarters in Port Harcourt, where he praised Fubara for his governance strides and project delivery.
Basiru described Rivers State as a shining example of the party’s commitment to people‑oriented leadership, noting that it has become the first state in the South‑South region to be fully controlled by the APC. He expressed pride in the party’s achievements and encouraged residents to consolidate those gains by supporting the party at all levels.
His statement comes amid speculation about Fubara’s potential re‑election bid, a contentious issue following a political crisis in the state. Nevertheless, the APC national secretary offered renewed hope to the governor, praising his performance and noting that he is one of the latest entrants into the party.
The inauguration of the Permanent Secretaries’ Quarters was attended by top government officials and stakeholders, including the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Dr Didi Esther Walson‑Jack. The project comprises 29 housing units equipped with modern facilities such as a water‑treatment plant, power generators, and recreational areas.
Governor Fubara said the housing initiative was designed to enhance productivity, improve the health and well‑being of senior civil servants, and promote institutional stability within the public service. He promised that the scheme would not be limited to Permanent Secretaries alone but would also benefit other categories of civil servants. The project has been commended as a strategic investment in institutional continuity, aligning with the Federal Government’s staff‑welfare objectives under President Tinubu’s administration.
With the APC poised to consolidate its gains in Rivers State, the party’s national secretary reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the governor and the president in the upcoming elections. The outcome of the 2027 general elections is expected to have significant implications for both the state and the party’s fortunes.
