According to a report by Daily Trust Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has dismissed reports claiming that he has dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), insisting that he remains loyal to the ruling party.
The governor addressed the speculation during an inspection visit to newly completed health projects in Rivers State.
Fubara spoke while touring the newly built General Hospital and the renovated Neuropsychiatric Hospital located in Rumuigbo, Obiakpor Local Government Area.
The visit formed part of the governor’s assessment of ongoing and completed projects aimed at improving healthcare delivery across the state.
The clarification was contained in a statement released by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Onwuka Nzeshi.
According to the statement, the governor reaffirmed his membership of the APC and stated that he remained committed to supporting the party and its interests despite reports circulating in parts of the media.
Fubara explained that false narratives had continued to spread online, leading to confusion about his political affiliation.
He maintained that some individuals were relying on social media discussions and personal interpretations to create misleading impressions about his political position and relationship with the ruling party.
During the inspection, the governor was taken around the facilities by the Director of Medical Services in the Rivers State Ministry of Health, Dr. Vincent Wachukwu.
The tour provided the governor with the opportunity to inspect the level of work completed at both medical institutions and assess their readiness to serve residents of the area.
Fubara expressed satisfaction over the completion of the projects, describing them as important interventions in the health sector.
He stated that the projects were initiated to meet pressing healthcare needs within the state.
According to him, the decision to rehabilitate the Neuropsychiatric Hospital became necessary due to the condition of the facility, while the construction of the General Hospital was influenced by the absence of a standard healthcare centre to cater to residents in the area.
He said: “I know that there has been a lot of drama in the media; one story or another. I am a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and nothing has changed.
“People should stop using whatever situation that they pick up from the social media or their own interpretation of any situation to present me wrongly.
