WATCH: APC Secretary Posts Video With Fubara As Crowd Sings Tinubu’s Campaign Song

The National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Ajibola Bashiru, has released a video with the Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara.

Naija News reports that in the released video, a crowd could be heard singing, “Tinubu, on your mandate we shall stand,” a popular 2023 campaign song associated with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Senator Bashiru captioned the video “Still on Jagaban Mandate!!!”.

Recall that the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, had warned Basiru to steer clear of Rivers State politics, declaring the state a “no-go area” for political interference. He issued the warning during a thank-you visit to Oyigbo Local Government Area, alleging that some political actors were exploiting what he claimed was N600 billion in the state’s coffers to make reckless statements about Rivers politics.

The Minister’s comments followed remarks attributed to the APC Vice Chairman (South-South), Victor Giadom, who reportedly referred to Fubara as “the so-called governor” and claimed that the Governor could not secure a second term without Wike’s backing.

Reacting earlier, Basiru had described Giadom’s remarks as unfortunate, insisting that the office of Governor must be respected regardless of political differences.

Basiru also warned Wike to desist from what he described as attempts to destabilise the ruling party.

He insisted that the Minister should resign from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s cabinet and face Rivers politics if he cannot stop interfering in the party’s internal affairs.
