A prominent Niger Delta leader, Anabs Sara-Igbe, has weighed in on the political implications of Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara potentially securing the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket ahead of future elections.
Sara-Igbe made the remarks during an interview on SYMFONI TV, where he assessed the growing influence of Governor Fubara within the state’s political landscape and the possible consequences for opposition parties if such a move materialises.
Speaking during the programme, Sara-Igbe expressed strong confidence in the governor’s grassroots appeal, stating, “I can tell you for free, if the governor picks the ticket, it will be difficult for other parties because the governor has a grassroots support and it’s organic.” He emphasized that Fubara’s backing is not manufactured but built on genuine connections with the people.
