OUR SUPPORT FOR TINUBU WILL BE LOUD..GOV SUM FUBARA DEFECTION SPEECH

 

 

This meeting, I had to arrange it so urgently. But the meeting is going to end with sweet information. 

You are aware that I went to see Mr. President yesterday. And the reason why I went for that visit is not just a personal visit but a state's Interest consultation. 

I don't want to make any mistake this time around. I wish also not to step on any landmine that anyone is laying for us. 

So I was with my Mr. President yesterday to brief him on the situation of things in our state, 

which I believe he has taken note and he's going to act swiftly on it.

But the most interesting part of the meeting is that, what you all have been waiting for, what you've been asking me, the signal has finally arrived. 

We have the full support, we have a positive nod to leave where we are - because we didn't get any protection, to go to where; the reason why we are still standing is because of that place.

And the truth is, without Mr. President, there won't be any His Excellency Siminalayi Fubara. It would have been formal governor.

 So we have every reason because the truth is, let nobody be fooled in this state, we have the people, we have the supporters and we have the numbers.

Our only thank you to Mr. President is to support him. And we cannot support Mr. President in isolation.

And we can't support Mr. President if we don't fully identify with him, not backyard support.

So we have taken that decision today. Since we've gotten the pass. Everyone here who have followed me, who have suffered with me, our decision today, this evening is we are moving to apc.

Now, that our position has been made clear, every other formal process will commence. 

Let me thank you for your support. I have not let you down before and I am not going to let you down now.

The message is very simply. We are the one that will give that support and we will give that support with a loud ovation because we know that people of Rivers state are with us.

Governor Siminalayi Fubara 

Announcing defection from PDP 

To APC at Government House,

Port Harcourt on Tuesday December 9, 2025.
