Rivers State – Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has reiterated his support for the second term bid of President Bola Tinubu and the governorship ambition of the All Progressives Congress candidate in the state, Kingsley Chinda, ahead of the 2027 general election.
The declaration marks a significant political realignment for Fubara, whose relationship with the APC and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has been marked by tension in recent years.
Fubara’s endorsement signals an effort to reset his political standing ahead of the 2027 polls, coming after a protracted period of friction between his camp and Wike loyalists within Rivers State politics.
The governor’s declaration is likely to reshape political alignments within Rivers State ahead of next year’s elections, with local observers watching closely to see how his supporters respond to the shift.
Political analysts say Fubara’s move reflects a broader pattern of realignment among Nigerian governors as parties consolidate support ahead of the 2027 election cycle.
The APC has not yet issued a detailed public response to Fubara’s declaration, though the truce is expected to feature prominently in the party’s political calculations in Rivers State.
