Governor Fubara Urges Supporters to Join Rainbow Coalition or Part Ways

On Thursday, Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara delivered a clear message to his supporters: join the Rainbow Coalition or part ways. Speaking during the inauguration of the Rivers State All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Fubara insisted that his decision to return to his political camp was final. The Rainbow Coalition, led by Governor Nyesom Wike, is a political alliance formed to challenge the incumbent President in the upcoming elections. Fubara, who won the 2023 governorship election on the APC ticket, had previously indicated his intention to work with Wike following his election. However, it appears that the governor is now taking a firm stance, giving his supporters until the end of the year to align with the Rainbow Coalition. This move could potentially reshape the political landscape in Rivers State, especially considering the influence of both Fubara and Wike in the region’s politics. The governor’s call to action has received mixed reactions from his supporters, with some expressing their support for the move while others have questioned its timing and implications. This story matters to Nigerian readers as it highlights the ongoing political dynamics in Rivers State and the evolving alliances ahead of the 2027 elections.
