2027 ELECTION: FUBARA PLEDGES 3 MILLION VOTES FOR TINUBU, BACKS APC-PDP RAINBOW COALITION

 

Rivers Governor declares support for Tinubu's re-election bid, assures APC-PDP Rainbow Coalition of electoral victory as President commends his decision to embrace peace.

Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has pledged to mobilise at least three million votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 general elections, declaring his support for the APC-PDP Rainbow Coalition and its political candidates.

Governor Fubara made the commitment while reaffirming his determination to ensure that Rivers State delivers overwhelming electoral support for President Tinubu and other candidates presented by the coalition in the forthcoming general elections.

The governor's pledge represents a significant political declaration ahead of the 2027 electoral contest, particularly given the strategic importance of Rivers State in Nigeria's political calculations.

Fubara also assured that his political structure would work towards securing victory for candidates fielded by the APC-PDP Rainbow Coalition, signalling his readiness to mobilise grassroots support across the state.

In his response, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu commended Governor Fubara for choosing the path of peace, describing his decision to prioritise stability in Rivers State as a commendable demonstration of political maturity and leadership.

The President further assured the Rivers governor that he would not regret his decision to embrace peace, reinforcing the importance of political stability and cooperation in advancing governance and development.

Tinubu's assurance underscores the significance attached to the governor's political alignment and his commitment to supporting the President's political ambition ahead of 2027.

With Governor Fubara's declaration of three million votes for President Tinubu, Rivers State is positioning itself as a major battleground in the emerging political permutations ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The governor's backing of the APC-PDP Rainbow Coalition could further shape political alliances and electoral calculations in the South-South region as political actors intensify consultations and mobilisation ahead of the polls.

As the 2027 elections draw closer, the unfolding political realignments suggest that Rivers State will remain a critical factor in the contest for political power.
