Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara has pledged to rally support for President Bola Tinubu, saying he will work with various groups to secure the president’s victory in the 2027 elections. He made the declaration while commissioning the Egbeda‑Omerelu link road on Thursday, underscoring his administration’s commitment to backing the president.
Fubara’s statement follows his recent defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), a move accompanied by several state legislators. He cited the PDP’s alleged abandonment during his political crisis as the reason for joining the APC, a shift that carries significant implications for the political landscape in Rivers State and potentially at the national level.
According to Fubara, his administration’s primary objective is to ensure that all stakeholders support President Tinubu. He reiterated his willingness to collaborate with diverse groups, stating, “Our position is to ensure that everyone supports Mr President. We will support every other group to ensure that we deliver for Mr President come 2027.” This indicates his commitment to building a broad coalition for the president’s re‑election bid.
The 2027 elections are expected to be a pivotal moment in Nigeria’s political history, and Governor Fubara’s endorsement of President Tinubu may shape the electoral landscape in Rivers State and beyond. As the country prepares for these elections, the actions of key political figures like Fubara will be closely watched, and his defection to the APC along with his pledge of support could have far‑reaching consequences for Nigeria’s political dynamics.
