Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has announced that prominent former leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and known supporters of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar have resolved to support President Bola Tinubu.
The political figures include former PDP national chairman, Uche Secondus; former deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, Austin Opara; former Rivers State governor, Celestine Omehia; and former Minister of Transport, Abiye Sekibo.
Governor Fubara made the announcement on Thursday at the New Year banquet organised by the Rivers State Government at the Banquet Hall of Government House, Port Harcourt.
He acknowledged the presence of the political figures at the event, stressing that their decisions effectively dispelled claims and blackmail that he was aligning with persons working against the interests of the President.
