Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has asked his supporters to stop referring to him as their leader, declaring that following his reconciliation with his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, he is now a member of the Rainbow Coalition, with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory as its leader.
The Rainbow Coalition is a political platform initiated by Wike to bring together members of different political parties to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.
Fubara said he was aware that those who stood by him during the political crisis in the state still referred to him as their leader, particularly during meetings, but insisted that the disagreement between him and Wike was over.
He said he had returned to his political family and submitted himself to Wike’s leadership despite being the sitting governor.
The governor spoke on Tuesday at the unveiling of the Rainbow Coalition candidates for the 2027 elections
