Fubara Withdraws from APC Governorship Primary

Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has withdrawn from the All Progressives Congress governorship primary in the state, saying the decision was taken in the interest of peace, unity and stability.

In a statement personally issued on Wednesday, Fubara said his withdrawal from the contest should not be seen as an act of weakness, fear or surrender, but as a sacrifice aimed at allowing Rivers State to move forward peacefully.

“Let it be clearly understood that I stepped aside from participating in the upcoming Rivers State gubernatorial election not out of weakness, fear or surrender, but out of conviction and sacrifice so that Rivers State may move forward in peace and unity,” the governor said.

Fubara maintained that his decision was guided by his commitment to the stability and progress of the state amid ongoing political tensions surrounding the electoral process.

The governor also reaffirmed his commitment to the people of Rivers State, pledging to continue serving diligently until the expiration of his tenure in office.
