Join me in Rainbow Coalition or leave, Fubara tells supporters

Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara addressed his supporters, informing them that those unwilling to join the Rainbow Coalition may leave, yet he insisted on his decision to return to his political family. During the inauguration of the Rainbow Coalition campaign council in Port Harcourt, Fubara commended the members on the list and encouraged those omitted not to be discouraged, as sub-committees existed and the list could be updated.

He emphasized the importance of working sincerely without divided loyalties and assured supporters that the past disagreements should be left behind, focusing on the future. Fubara urged his campaign council members to collaborate towards their goals, expressing confidence that their candidates would win the upcoming elections. Additionally, he thanked Nyesom Wike, the Federal Capital Territory Minister and Rainbow Coalition leader, for their efforts in setting up the council.

Wike announced that the coalition would shift from ceremonial campaigns to community gatherings and family meetings for voter engagement. The Rainbow Coalition, composed of political actors from various parties, supports President Bola Tinubu's re-election bid in 2027. Fubara endorsed Chinda as his preferred successor and withdrew from the APC governorship contest, prioritizing peace and unity in the state.
