Governor Siminalayi Fubara has publicly stated that he has not left the All Progressives Congress (APC), emphasizing that he remains a loyal and active member of the party.
He made this clarification on Wednesday while carrying out an official inspection visit to the reconstructed Rivers State Psychiatric Hospital in Rumuigbo, located within the Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State. The hospital, which was previously a psychiatric facility, has been extensively renovated and upgraded into a fully functional general hospital.
The project is part of broader efforts by the state government to strengthen healthcare infrastructure and improve access to quality medical services for residents across Rivers State. During the inspection, the governor assessed the level of work done on the facility and noted the importance of delivering modern, reliable healthcare services to the public.
While the primary purpose of the visit was to review progress on the hospital renovation, attention also turned to his political stance. Addressing concerns and speculation, Governor Fubara clearly stated that he has not defected from the APC and continues to identify with the party. His remarks were aimed at reaffirming his political position amid ongoing public discussions and interpretations surrounding his affiliations.
The statement comes at a time when political alignment and party loyalty remain key topics in Rivers State politics, making his clarification particularly significant to supporters and observers alike.
