Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers state has declared support for President Bola Tinubu and the Rainbow Coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections.
This was just as he named Kingsley Chinda of All Progressive Congress as his preferred candidate for the state governorship.
Fubara said the decision followed efforts to restore peace in Rivers State, insisting that the period of political conflict was over and that residents should focus on moving the state forward.
The governor stated his position in a video posted on X, where he urged his supporters to back the coalition and its candidates rather than rally behind him personally.
“We have made peace in the state and I am supporting the Rainbow Coalition. President Bola Tinubu is our president and is the one that we are supporting,” he said.
“Chinda is the governorship candidate that I am supporting and everybody who believes in me will support.”
