Governors from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have expressed their strong support for Governor Siminalayi Fubara amidst his ongoing political conflict with his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, who is currently serving as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

“The Forum acknowledges the crises within the Rivers State Chapter of the party and is dedicated to ensuring peace.
The Forum has decided to stand by His Excellency, Sir Sim Fubara, Governor of Rivers State,” the communiqué stated.
The governors emphasized the importance of “wider consultations” with relevant stakeholders to achieve a lasting solution to the political turmoil in Rivers State.
They committed to working towards peace and stability in the region, underscoring their unified support for Fubara in navigating the current challenges.

Tinubu Says His Tough Economic Reforms Are Now Helping Nigeria’s Economy Grow

President Bola Tinubu has claimed that his government’s economic reforms are beginning to bear fruit. Speaking at the APC National Summit held at the State House banquet hall in Abuja on Thursday, Tinubu defended his administration’s decisions and insisted that the ruling party has not failed Nigerians. “Two years ago, we set out on a journey powered by hope and a strong belief in this country. We made a promise to tackle Nigeria’s problems directly and rebuild the trust of our people,” he said.
The president expressed confidence that the economic policies introduced since May 2023 are taking effect. He noted that the removal of fuel subsidies was a tough but necessary decision meant to steer the country toward a better future. “We took the bold step to end the subsidy, and we did it for the good of the country. Good things don’t come easy,” Tinubu added.
Since taking office, his administration has introduced a wave of economic reforms, including floating the naira and slashing fuel subsidies—moves which both the government and international bodies say were essential to fix Nigeria’s struggling economy.
However, these changes have been deeply felt by everyday Nigerians, many of whom are battling an intense cost-of-living crisis. With inflation soaring and economic growth sluggish, the World Bank estimates that nearly half of Nigeria’s population lived in poverty in 2024. Similarly, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) recently pointed out that while the reforms may be important in the long run, they are yet to make a real difference in the lives of ordinary citizens.

APC Governors Say They Support Tinubu for Second Term and Will Make Sure He Wins in 2027

The Progressive Governors’ Forum has pledged full support to ensure President Bola Tinubu secures a second term in office. Speaking at the APC National Summit in Abuja, the forum’s chairman and Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, urged his fellow governors to take firm control of politics in their states and work to secure victories for the party across all levels.
Uzodimma emphasized that a united and active effort by APC governors will pave the way for Tinubu’s re-election in 2027. He also acknowledged the public backing Tinubu has received from APC governors in the North, calling it a strong step toward solidifying the president’s position as the party’s next flag bearer.
According to him, APC governors must promote federal government policies and dominate their political spaces to ensure success in the next general elections. Uzodimma closed his remarks by formally calling on the summit to adopt the position of the Progressive Governors’ Forum in endorsing Tinubu for a second term and committing to deliver that mandate.
