Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has urged his supporters to stop referring to him as their leader, stating that he is now part of the Rainbow Coalition, with former Governor Nyesom Wike as its leader. Fubara made this announcement at the unveiling of the coalition's candidates for the 2027 elections in Rivers State, held at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium in Port Harcourt.
The Rainbow Coalition is a political platform established by Wike to support President Bola Tinubu's re-election bid in 2027. Despite being the current governor, Fubara said he is eager to submit himself to Wike's leadership and clear up any confusion about who the leader is, as some supporters still address him as their leader, particularly during meetings.
