Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara tells his supporters to either join Nyesom Wike’s Rainbow Coalition or leave his camp. The warning comes as Fubara positions his supporters around his political alignment and frames the decision as a clear break with those unwilling to follow him.
Outlets link the dispute to Rivers State politics and the wider campaign landscape around President Bola Tinubu’s potential 2027 re-election. Premium Times says Wike’s mobilisations in Rivers State are tied to that 2027 ambition, while other coverage focuses more directly on Fubara’s ultimatum and the meaning of his decision to return to his political camp.
Vanguard and The Punch both emphasise that Fubara treats his decision as final, presenting the message as a directive delivered publicly to supporters. Overall, the reporting largely agrees on the core elements: Fubara’s warning, the Rainbow Coalition led by Wike, and the idea that supporters must choose sides.
