Former Minister of Transport, Chief Abiye Sekibo, reveals how Siminalayi Fubara’s strong leadership convinced top political figures to back President Tinubu over Atiku Abubakar, ushering in a new era in Rivers State.

In an important development that could reshape the political landscape of Rivers State, Former Minister of Transport, Chief Abiye Sekibo, has revealed that he and other political leaders shifted their allegiance from former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The catalyst for this change, he said, was none other than the dynamic leadership of Rivers Governor Siminalayi Fubara. Speaking in Port Harcourt on Thursday, Sekibo explained how Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s vision and dedication to the people convinced key figures that the best path forward was to unite behind President Tinubu.

During his remarks at the inauguration of the rehabilitated Borokiri Fire Service Station, Sekibo made it clear that the decision was not based on fleeting political trends but was a response to the governor’s sustained commitment to the welfare of Rivers State. “This governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has convinced Rivers people that they must stand with their President, and we do stand with you,” he asserted. He further stressed that while some might still recall his previous alignment with Atiku Abubakar, the governor’s practical achievements and steadfast leadership compelled him and his peers to rally behind the current federal administration.

Sekibo recounted how Siminalayi Fubara’s consistent efforts to prioritize the interests of the people and maintain essential services during challenging times played a major role in swaying political opinions. He highlighted that even when the state faced financial constraints and administrative hurdles, Governor Siminalayi Fubara ensured that basic services remained uninterrupted. This unwavering commitment resonated deeply with political leaders and ordinary citizens alike, reaffirming that practical governance must take precedence over political affiliations.

The rehabilitated Borokiri Fire Service Station stands as a symbol of this renewed commitment to service and progress. More than just an infrastructural upgrade, the modern facility is designed to enhance public safety in one of the most densely populated areas of Rivers State. Chief Sekibo explained that the project not only provides critical emergency response capabilities but also opens up opportunities for local youth employment, giving a tangible boost to the community’s economic prospects. In this context, the leadership of Siminalayi Fubara is seen as transformative, turning challenges into opportunities and setting the stage for a more secure and prosperous future.

Beyond the immediate benefits of improved public services, Sekibo’s remarks were also a call for national unity. He appealed directly to President Tinubu to continue supporting Governor Siminalayi Fubara, emphasizing that strong, coordinated leadership between state and federal governments is essential for the overall progress of the nation. “Standing by and working with Governor Siminalayi Fubara is the right thing to do,” Sekibo insisted. This unity, he argued, is not merely political maneuvering—it is a strategic decision that underscores the importance of aligned leadership for the benefit of all citizens.

The impact of Siminalayi Fubara’s leadership has not been confined solely to infrastructure projects. His ability to navigate complex political terrains and secure essential services during turbulent times has earned him admiration from across the political spectrum. When Rivers State encountered severe administrative challenges, the governor’s prompt actions ensured that disruptions were minimized, and the daily lives of the people were largely unaffected. This proactive approach has reassured many that his methods, though sometimes unorthodox, are geared towards safeguarding the interests of the community.
