Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has announced that prominent former leaders of the Peoples’ Democratic Party and known supporters of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar have resolved to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Governor Fubara made the announcement on Thursday at the New Year banquet organised by the Rivers State Government at Government House, Port Harcourt. Governor Fubara said it is on the strength of that faith that the purpose of governance in Rivers State would be fully realised. Governor Fubara said his administration has endured numerous challenges but has emerged stronger, noting that the battles he could not fight had ultimately strengthened his resolve. It is to protect Rivers State.
