“Fubara, you will not regret what you have done as long as all of us are alive”- Tinubu
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has assured Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, that he would not regret his decision to embrace reconciliation following the prolonged political crisis in the state.
Tinubu gave the assurance on Saturday, November 7, 2026, during the Rainbow Coalition presidential campaign rally at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The President commended Fubara for what he described as maturity, understanding and respect for the intervention of elders in resolving the political disagreement between him and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
Tinubu said he personally intervened during the crisis and appreciated the governor for accepting the intervention and maintaining peace in the state.
Addressing Fubara directly, the President said: “Fubara, you will not regret what you have done as long as all of us are alive.”
He further described the Rivers governor as a committed democrat and urged political stakeholders and youths in the state to sustain the prevailing atmosphere of peace.
Earlier at the rally, Fubara pledged to mobilise at least three million votes for Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election, while acknowledging Wike’s leadership of the political arrangement in Rivers State.
The governor also announced that politicians from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had come together under the Rainbow Coalition to support Tinubu’s re-election bid.
The development comes amid efforts to consolidate the reconciliation between Fubara and Wike after months of political disagreements that plunged Rivers State into a prolonged leadership cr
