2027: Fubara Breaks Silence, Reaffirms Commitment to APC
Siminalayi Fubara has broken his silence amid growing political speculation, reaffirming his membership and commitment to the All Progressives Congress ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The Rivers State governor made the remarks during a political engagement with supporters and stakeholders, where he addressed rumours surrounding his political future and alleged plans to leave the party. According to him, he remains fully committed to the APC and has no intention of abandoning the platform.
Fubara stated that recent reports suggesting possible political defection were misleading and aimed at creating confusion within the party structure in Rivers State. He urged his supporters to remain calm and focused despite ongoing political tensions and speculations circulating in public discussions.
The governor also emphasized the importance of party unity and political stability, noting that internal disagreements should be resolved through dialogue rather than public confrontation. He maintained that his administration remains focused on governance and development projects across the state.
Political observers say the statement comes at a crucial period as discussions surrounding alliances and political realignments ahead of 2027 continue to intensify across Nigeria. Rivers State has remained one of the most politically sensitive states in the country due to ongoing power struggles and factional disputes among influential political figures.
Analysts believe Fubara’s reaffirmation of APC membership may be aimed at calming tensions among supporters and strengthening his political position within the party. The development also follows months of speculation regarding his relationship with key political stakeholders in the state.
Supporters of the governor welcomed the clarification, describing it as necessary to counter rumours and reassure party loyalists. However, opposition voices argued that the statement may not completely end ongoing debates about political alignments ahead of future elections.
The political atmosphere in Rivers State has remained tense in recent months due to internal disputes involving party leadership, control of political structures, and future electoral strategies. Many observers believe developments in the state could significantly influence political calculations ahead of the 2027 elections.
Despite the controversies, Fubara insisted that his focus remains on governance, economic development, and improving the welfare of Rivers residents while maintaining loyalty to the party platform under which he continues to operate politically.
