Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has announced a significant political realignment, declaring that prominent leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and key allies of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar are now supporting President Bola Tinubu.
During a New Year’s banquet in Port Harcourt on Thursday, Fubara revealed that figures including former PDP National Chairman Uche Secondus, former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Austin Opara, former Governor Celestine Omehia, and former Minister of Transport Abiye Sekibo have all shifted their allegiance.
Governor Fubara stressed that their presence at the event dispels any “claims and blackmail” that he is working against the President’s interests.
Asserting that he remains “unshaken” by political challenges, Fubara confidently stated that he understands the political terrain and has mechanisms in place to succeed, promising a “complete liberation” for Rivers State in 2026.
