To appreciate Fubara, vote for our candidates in all elections, APC tells Rivers voters

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has urged eligible voters in Rivers state to cast their ballots for all candidates on its platform in the 2027 general election. 

Ajibola Basiru, national secretary of the APC, made the call while addressing party supporters in the state.

Basiru spoke at the official commissioning of a newly built permanent secretaries’ quarters in Rivers state.

“We bring the goodwill of the national working committee of the All Progressives Congress to the good people of Rivers state, particularly one of the latest signings into the pan-African, pan-Nigerian political party, the APC,” Basiru said.

“As long as Governor Fubara is in the APC, he already has a junior from the north-central. I congratulate the people of Rivers state for being part of this pan-Nigerian political party.

“By the entrance of Governor Fubara into the APC, the south-south geopolitical zone has become the first zone to have all APC governors.

“I congratulate our governor, I congratulate our party because when the governor is doing well, it simply means that our party is doing well.

“But the only way you can compensate the governor, compensate our party people of Rivers state, is to continue to vote for our party, the APC, in all elections.”

Basiru said the APC is confident that Rivers would deliver substantial votes for the party in future elections, including the presidential poll.

“And I know that in the fullness of time, in the general election coming, the votes for our party, the vote for our governor, the vote for our president, will be very massive in Rivers state,” he added.

Fubara defected to the APC days after visiting Tinubu, following months of political crisis in Rivers that pitted him against his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

The crisis resulted in a divided house of assembly, impeachment threats, and a six-month state of emergency
