Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara reiterated his unwavering support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the inauguration of the Rivers APC Campaign Council and Rainbow Coalition. The event was officiated by Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike.
During his address, Fubara encouraged the new council members to engage actively with communities rather than relying on traditional campaign methods. He urged them to visit family gatherings, markets, and informal community settings to communicate the importance of re-electing President Bola Tinubu.
Fubara stressed the need for accountability and commitment among council members. He cautioned against any duplicity, stating that those not aligned with his stance should publicly declare their intentions. “I have taken this position, and anybody who says he is not with me, gently go your way,” he remarked.
He also highlighted the importance of unity among political stakeholders, emphasizing that past differences should be set aside to enhance the coalition’s electoral chances. Recalling the successes of the 2023 elections, Fubara expressed confidence that their coordinated efforts could lead to a more significant electoral victory in 2027.
Fubara announced a target of three million votes for President Tinubu, contending that this goal is achievable through dedication and teamwork. He reassured those not included on the initial campaign council list that further committees would be formed, allowing for additional involvement.
Similarly, Wike emphasized that the campaign would not follow a ceremonial approach and encouraged members to stay focused, dismissing potential distractions from opposition parties.
