Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has pledged to deliver three million votes to President Bola Tinubu in the upcoming 2027 general elections. The governor made the commitment during an All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally held in Port Harcourt, the state capital, on Saturday.
Addressing the crowd, Fubara emphasized the state's unwavering support for the incumbent president. “Rivers will give you three million votes. We will stand by you. We will work for you. We will deliver for you,” he stated. He further noted that the political establishment in Rivers State has made a definitive decision to back Tinubu, asserting that there is no going back on this commitment.
End of Political Division
The governor highlighted a shift in the political landscape of the state, declaring that the era of division in Rivers politics is over. According to Fubara, political leaders in the state are now united in their messaging, with their collective voice firmly supporting President Tinubu. He argued that this unity is a direct response to the attention and support Tinubu has shown to Rivers State.
“We are not just talking. We will show it with our votes,” Fubara said. “Rivers people know how to keep their word.”
Fubara urged party supporters to return to their respective wards and units to begin grassroots mobilization immediately. He cautioned that the target of three million votes would not be achieved through passive support, stressing that active engagement is required to secure the mandate for the 2027 polls.
