Siminalayi Fubara, governor of Rivers, has withdrawn from the governorship primary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.
Fubara announced his withdrawal from the contest in a statement he personally issued on Wednesday, noting that he stepped down out of conviction and sacrifice for the state to move forward in peace and unity.
“Let it be clearly understood that I stepped aside from participating in the upcoming River’s state Gubernatorial election not out of weakness, fear, or surrender, but out of conviction and sacrifice so that Rivers State may move forward in peace and unity and I remain committed to serving the good people of Rivers state till the end of my term,” the statement reads.
