Governor Siminalayi Fubara denied reports claiming that he had left the All Progressives Congress for another political party. The governor spoke with journalists in the state capital, where he dismissed the reports as false and linked them to misinformation spreading across social media and other platforms.
Fubara said he remains a member of the APC and has not moved to the National Democratic Congress as being alleged in some reports. According to him, many people have continued to misinterpret political developments and circulate unverified stories without confirming the facts.
The governor urged the public to avoid relying on rumours or assumptions before sharing political information. He said false reports about his political position were being spread based on personal interpretations rather than verified facts.
Fubara also maintained that his loyalty to the APC has not changed despite growing speculation in recent weeks. He said his attention remains on supporting the interests and stability of the party rather than engaging in political distractions.
Speaking further, the Rivers governor called for unity among party members and said political activities should focus on common goals instead of division. He added that cooperation within the party remains important as political preparations ahead of future elections continue across the country.
The comments from the governor came amid increasing political discussions surrounding alignments and defections in different parts of Nigeria ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Despite the rumours, Fubara insisted that he remains fully committed to the APC and has no plans to leave the party.
