2027: Fubara Promises Tinubu Three Million Votes, Declares Rivers State Ready For APC Victory

Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has pledged to deliver three million votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election, expressing confidence in the president’s chances of securing another term.

According to Bush Radio Academy, Fubara made the declaration on Saturday during the flag-off of the All Progressives Congress (APC) South-South campaign for Tinubu’s re-election in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.

The governor also revealed that members of the APC and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) were working together in Rivers State under what he described as a rainbow coalition to ensure victory for Tinubu in the forthcoming presidential election.

Fubara used the occasion to commend the president for his intervention during the political crisis that rocked Rivers State and threatened the stability of his administration.

He described Tinubu’s intervention as a demonstration of statesmanship, noting that the president’s involvement, advice and efforts to reconcile the opposing parties helped restore peace in the state.

According to the governor, Tinubu’s interest in the affairs of Rivers State and his commitment to resolving the political disagreement enabled his administration to regain stability and concentrate on fulfilling its promises to residents.

Fubara also praised the president for appointing individuals from the South-South region to significant positions in his administration, describing the appointments as evidence of Tinubu’s recognition of the region and its contributions to national development.

The Rivers governor subsequently appealed to residents of the state to support Tinubu’s re-election campaign, assuring the president that the state was prepared to deliver the promised three million votes in January 2027.

His declaration further highlights the growing political alignment between the Rivers State government and the ruling APC ahead of the 2027 general elections.
