Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State has declared his support for President Bola Tinubu and the Rainbow Coalition in the state.
Fubara said he would be backing the Rainbow Coalition because the era of war is over.
Addressing his followers in a video posted on X, the governor declared his support for the All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship candidate in Rivers State, Kingsley Chinda.
He said: "We have made peace in the state and I am supporting the Rainbow Coalition. President Bola Tinubu is our president and is the one that we are supporting.
"Chinda is the governorship candidate that I am supporting and everybody who believes in me will support.
"And for those of you who are saying Fubara, we want to collect something before we run, there is nothing to collect, I have gone back to our family, so please wherever you are give your total support to that coalition.
"We need to move forward, the time of war is over, this is the time of peace and this peace is taking us to another level. What you miss here you gain in another place, that's life.
"So please, I want this to be made clear to everybody, don't go and say we are supporting Fubara, no. My position is this, I have said it here and clearly for everyone to hear that I'm not a party to anything that will bring disability to this state.
"I have done what I need to do and for now we are moving forward."
