Governor Siminalayi Fubara has officially withdrawn from the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primary in Rivers State.
The governor announced his decision in a statement personally signed on Wednesday, citing party unity and political stability as his reasons for stepping aside.
Fubara pledged to support the eventual APC candidate, urging members to focus on cohesion ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He did not disclose further details regarding the circumstances that led to his withdrawal.
Political observers note that Fubara’s move may help prevent internal divisions that could weaken the party in the state.

Fans and party members on social media expressed mixed reactions, with some praising Fubara for prioritizing party unity while others expressed disappointment at his exit.
