Governors Reported Endorse Tinubu for 2027

South-East governors from three parties have unified to back President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election, arguing he has delivered tangible benefits to the Igbo and asserting continued support for his Renewed Hope Agenda. In Rivers State, Governor Siminalayi Fubara declared allegiance to the Rainbow Coalition led by Nyesom Wike, endorsing Tinubu’s second term and backing Kingsley Chinda as the coalition’s preferred governorship candidate. Fubara framed the move as a return to peace and unity, urging supporters to back all Rainbow Coalition candidates and move beyond past political hostilities. He reiterated commitment to advancing APC interests in Rivers and urged investors and host communities to support the Riven Medical Industries Project as a catalyst for development. The endorsements collectively signal a regional push for stability, growth, and unified backing of Tinubu ahead of the 2027 elections.
