Fubara Says His Defection is to Repay Tinubu’s Favour
Rivers Governor Siminalayi Fubara has revealed that defecting to the All Progressives Congress (APC) was a move to repay President Bola Tinubu’s assistance in stabilising the state.
Fubara, speaking at an APC reception at the State Government House in Port Harcourt on Friday, stated that it was critical to align the state with power at the centre, the federal government.
At the event, Fubara completed the APC membership form and other party documents before receiving the party slip and membership card.
“I took this decision as my return of favour; my own clearing the bush to ensure that his (Tinubu’s) re-election come 2027 will be easy and smooth in this state.
“Now that we are all in one party – I know we have always supported, but from different flats – we are inside one flat. The job is now easy to fulfill what we have promised the President,” he said.
“Let me thank the National Executive. The state chairman, representing the national chairman, I want to assure you that we will do everything to keep APC as the main and active progressive party in Rivers State.
“We will not stop there. It is my duty from this minute to ensure that the party is properly taken care of. I will assure you here that every need of the exco and the party becomes my responsibility.
“We have a task ahead. To preach the news of Mr President. To soften every strongman in this state and to make sure that at the end it would be a smooth sail in Rivers State,” Fubara added
