Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has officially withdrawn from the state governorship race, announcing that he will no longer participate in the upcoming contest.
In a personally signed statement released on Wednesday, Fubara said the decision was made out of conviction and a desire to promote peace, unity, and stability in Rivers State.

The governor added that despite stepping away from the race, he remains fully committed to serving the people of Rivers State and will continue to fulfill his responsibilities until the end of his tenure.
Political observers say the development marks a significant shift in Rivers State politics and is likely to reshape the landscape ahead of the next election cycle.
