In a recent interview on Symfoni TV, Rivers State elder statesman and Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) pioneer spokesman, Anabs Sara-Igbe, continued his assessment of the political situation in Rivers State ahead of the 2027 governorship election, focusing on the expected strength of Governor Siminalayi Fubara in a free and fair contest.
During the interview, Sara-Igbe stated, “In a free and fair election, anybody Wike brings will not get 10% of Fubara’s votes.” He made the remark while discussing the growing political rivalry in the state and the anticipated direction of voter support in the next election cycle.
