JUST-IN: Fubara Withdraws From APC Governorship Primary in Rivers

Siminalayi Fubara has withdrawn from the governorship primary of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State.

Fubara announced his decision in a statement personally issued on Wednesday, saying his withdrawal was driven by a desire to promote peace, unity and stability in the state.

According to him, stepping down from the contest should not be interpreted as an act of weakness, fear or surrender, but as a sacrifice aimed at allowing Rivers State to move forward peacefully.

“Let it be clearly understood that I stepped aside from participating in the upcoming Rivers 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,” he stated.

The governor added that he remains committed to serving the people of Rivers State until the expiration of his tenure.
