The Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, says President Bola Tinubu has delivered significantly for Rivers State and the South-South region.
Keyamo on Friday spoke during the flag-off of the 7km Ipo
Town–Airport Bypass and the commissioning of the Ikwerre Road–Igwuruta–Airport
Road Corridor reconstructed by the Rivers State Government.
Flagging off the bypass, the minister thanked President
Tinubu for what he described as the President’s numerous contributions to the
people of Rivers State, adding that Tinubu has made it possible for all
South-South states to align with the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
He noted that Rivers State, traditionally, has never been in
opposition.
Keyamo also formally welcomed Governor Siminalayi Fubara
into the APC.
He said, “We set a trap to catch a frog, we caught an
elephant in the person of Sir Siminalayi Fubara, welcome to the fold of the
progressives sir, welcome to the big family, welcome to the largest party in
Africa.”
The Minister of Aviation added that Fubara’s defection from
the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, signals the death of the soul of the
opposition party.
He said Fubara’s entry into the APC means “the souls of the
PDP has left the party.”
Keyamo was at the Government House in Port Harcourt, where
he witnessed Governor Fubara receiving his APC membership card from the Tony
Okocha-led leadership of the party.
Governor Fubara had earlier announced his intention to join
the APC on Tuesday.
He explained that his defection from the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, to the APC is in the interest of the people of Rivers State and
also a gesture of appreciation to President Bola Tinubu, whom he credited as
the reason he remains the Governor of Rivers State.
