Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has formally expressed his commitment to ensuring a large-scale reception for President Bola Tinubu during his upcoming visit to the state this Saturday.

Mobilization Efforts in Port Harcourt

The Governor’s statement followed a meeting with a delegation led by Philip Shaibu, the Director of the Directorate of Support Groups and former Deputy Governor of Edo State. The delegation conducted a pre-rally road walk in Port Harcourt, a move intended to build momentum and visibility for the President’s arrival. According to Governor Fubara, the turnout at this event serves as a clear indicator of the level of support the President enjoys within the region.

Shaibu noted that the Port Harcourt mobilization is part of a broader strategy, with similar road walks having been conducted in five other states. The objective, he explained, is to energize local residents and foster anticipation for the rally. He further stated that the Rivers State chapter of the mobilization efforts is specifically focused on indigenous support groups based in the state capital.

The Governor emphasized that the mobilization is a collaborative effort, aimed at building a strong foundation for the President’s visit.

Regarding the organizational structure of the campaign, Governor Fubara confirmed that the coordination of the state’s campaign activities is being managed by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike. The Governor expressed optimism that this joint approach is already producing positive results.

Expectations for the Presidential Visit

During the meeting, Philip Shaibu articulated the perspective of the support groups, asserting that Rivers State has experienced significant benefits from the goodwill of the Tinubu administration. He expressed confidence that the ongoing mobilization efforts would translate into a successful and well-attended presidential rally.

While the Governor and the delegation have expressed high expectations for the event, specific details regarding the President’s itinerary or the exact number of attendees expected remain subject to the logistics of the upcoming weekend. The focus remains on the logistical preparation and the coordination between state leadership and the national support groups to ensure the rally proceeds as planned.
