Ihunwo: Fubara Directed Rivers Political Stakeholders To Join Rainbow Coalition.
Former Chairman of Ohio/Akpor Local Government, Chidjoki Ihunwo has insisted that Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara directed political stakeholders in the state to join the Rainbow Coalition and work together to support the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in the 2027 general election.
Speaking during an interview with ARISE NEWS on Tuesday, Ihunwo explained that the governor’s directive brought political stakeholders together, including members of the APC, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party and Action Peoples Party (APP), to promote peace and development in the state.
“The governor of Rivers State, he is my direct principal, he has told us, look, we want peace in our state, all of us, all of us, should be part of the Rainbow Coalition, and we have accepted, as a family, that we are going to support the candidates of APC.” He underscored that the coalition was not confused, as alleged by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship candidate, Dr Gabriel Pidomson.
“My boss, who is the governor of Rivers State, is also part of the Rainbow Coalition. And the leader of that group in our state here is the governor, and then the minister is the national leader of the Rainbow Coalition.” Ihunwo stated that the political agreement included support for the APC governorship candidate, whom he identified as Kinsley Ogundu-Chinda. “We’ve agreed to support the candidate of the APC, Kinsley Ogundu-Chinda, for the governor of Rivers State come 2027. So there is no confusion anywhere.” He described Ogundu-Chinda as a popular candidate with the capacity to govern the state and said political stakeholders had agreed to work towards his victory.
