Fubara: ‘Our Only Thank- You To Mr President Is To Support Him’
Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State is showing gratitude to Nigerian President, Bola Ahmed- Tinubu by defecting to the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The Rivers State governor, Fubara said, if not for the intervention of President Tinubu, he would have become a former governor.
Fubara stated this at a stakeholders meeting at the government house in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.
He said, “The reason why we are still standing is because of that place, and the truth is, without Mr President, there wouldn’t be any His Excellency Siminalayi Fubara; it would have been the former governor.
“So, we have every reason because the truth, let nobody be fooled in this state, we have the people, we have the supporters. Our only thank-you to Mr President is to support him, and we cannot support the President in isolation;
“We cannot support the President if we don’t fully identify with him, not backyard support. So, we have taken that decision today since we have gotten the pass. Everyone here who had followed me, who had suffered with me, our decision today, this evening, we are moving to APC,”.
Just four days before his defection, the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Martin Amaewhule, and 17 others exited the PDP for the APC on December 5.
