Wednesday, October 28 2026 - The Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara, has asked his supporters to desist from calling him their leader and going forward should recognise the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, as the leader of all political groups in the state.
Fubara made the declaration on Tuesday, October 27, at the
official unveiling of the Rainbow Coalition at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium in Port
Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.
Addressing the gathering, Fubara urged members of his former
support base who had joined the coalition to recognise its leadership
structure, declaring that he was no longer their leader within the political
arrangement.
“Let me say something here so that it will always help us
while we move forward. I’m aware there are some issues where some persons who
followed me when we had the crisis, when you’re in your meeting, you say, ‘My
leader, my leader.’ We are now in one house. And because we have one
house, there is no issue about who is the leader. I might be your oga
(governor), but we have a common leader now. So please, going forward, this
issue of ‘my leader, my leader, my leader’, I want it resolved here and now.”
