Ijaw Youth Council Backs Fubara for 2027

The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) has officially endorsed Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara for a second term ahead of the 2027 elections, warning against any attempts to disrupt his re-election.

In a statement on Sunday, IYC President Theophilus Alaye said the endorsement followed extensive consultations across the Ijaw nation, describing Fubara as a symbol of stability and effective leadership. The support comes amid shifting political alignments in Rivers State following the governor’s recent defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The council also dismissed criticisms against Fubara, highlighting his continued focus on governance and his commitment to policies promoting infrastructure development, youth empowerment, and social progress despite ongoing political tensions.
