Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has warned against double loyalty among members of the APC and Rainbow Coalition, urging them to work together to deliver massive votes for President Bola Tinubu and other candidates in the 2027 general elections.
Fubara gave the warning on Thursday during the inauguration of the APC Presidential Campaign Council in Port Harcourt, where he declared that Rivers State was capable of delivering more votes than it recorded in the 2023 elections.
The governor said the state had moved beyond political divisions and was now focused on the future, stressing that teamwork and sincerity of purpose were essential to achieving electoral victory.
He described the newly inaugurated campaign council as bigger, broader and better coordinated than the one that worked for the 2022 and 2023 elections, expressing confidence that it would produce better results.
Fubara also welcomed the inclusion of some former opposition members in the council, saying their involvement would make the task of mobilising support easier if everyone worked as one team.
He commended the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, and other political leaders for their efforts in putting the campaign council together.
The governor further urged those whose names were not included in the initial list of appointments not to be discouraged, noting that more opportunities would emerge through the constitution of sub-committees and possible updates to the list.
Earlier, Wike, who is the Coordinator of the Tinubu Presidential Campaign Council for Rivers State and the FCT, urged members to justify their appointments by working hard to secure votes for APC and Rainbow Coalition candidates.
He disclosed that local government campaign councils would soon be inaugurated to strengthen grassroots mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general elections.
