We won't compromise support for Akpabio, Abbas, says Fubara

Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara declared that federal lawmakers from his state were firmly behind the APC preferred choices for the NASS leadership positions.

Fubara spoke during a meeting with the National Assembly members-elect from the state at the Executive Council Chambers of Government House, Port Harcourt.

The collective decision, according to him, is to advance Nigeria’s interest.

His Special Assistant on Media, Boniface Onyedi, said in a statement that the governor charged the incoming lawmakers to stick to the declared interest of the state by voting for the preferred choices.

He admonished the members-elect to always work together as a team to make the desired impact and enjoy the accruing dividends.

Sir Fubara assured the members-elect of continuous support so as to remain relevant in national affairs.

Speaking on behalf of the members-elect, the Senator-elect for Rivers Southeast Senatorial District, Barry Mpigi, commended Fubara for the strategic meeting and pledged that they would certainly work in line with the charge of the governor as the leader of the state.
