Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara has endorsed the governorship candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Kingsley Chinda as his preferred successor while declaring peace with his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.
The governor spoke during the commissioning of the Rivers Medical Industries Project in Port Harcourt on Wednesday.
For a better part of his administration, Fubara and Wike were locked in a supremacy battle over the control of the political machinery in the oil-rich state.
The governor noted that he has decided to rejoin the political family led by Wike, saying there is a ‘total agreement’ in place.
He urged his supporters to follow suit.
Fubara said, “We have made peace in the state, and we have a total agreement.
“I am supporting our rainbow party, our rainbow coalition. President Bola Tinubu is our president and is the one we are supporting.
“OK Chinda is the governorship candidate that I am supporting, and anybody who believes in me will support him and every candidate under the rainbow.
“For those of you saying, ‘Fubara, let’s stay, we want to collect something before we run,’ there is nothing to collect. I am already in the family. I have gone back to our family. So please, wherever you are, give your total support to that coalition.”
