The Enforcers of Good Governance (EGG), a socio-political group in Rivers, has urged Gov. Siminalayi Fubara to prioritise stability and broad-based consultation as political activities gradually build toward the 2027 governorship election.
In an open letter signed by its founder, Dr Kingsley Ogu on Sunday, the group said recent discussions within political circles on the possible composition of the governor’s future ticket had drawn attention among stakeholders across the state.
The group noted that such discussions remained largely speculative, adding that evolving party structures and alignments continued to generate public interest.
The group highlighted the role of the Deputy Governor, Prof. Ngozi Odu, in the Orashi axis; comprising Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni, Ahoada East, Ahoada West and Abua/Odual Local Government Areas, where she has established political support.
According to the group, support recorded in parts of the state during the 2023 governorship election was influenced by existing political structures and alliances, including those linked to the deputy governor.
The group also referenced Odu’s background in the civil service and public sector, noting that her experience contributed to her emergence as deputy governorship candidate in the last election cycle.
EGG further stated that the working relationship within the administration, including during periods of political challenges, had remained an important factor in sustaining governance.
On electoral considerations, the group noted that outcomes in Rivers elections are often shaped by performance in key areas such as Port Harcourt, Obio/Akpor and parts of the Orashi region.
It added that established political structures could play a role in future contests.
The group, which said it has grassroots presence across the 23 Local Government Areas of the state, emphasised the importance of inclusive engagement and cohesion within political alignments.
It stressed that continued consultation with stakeholders would help strengthen confidence and support ahead of future elections.
EGG also pointed to ongoing discussions in some quarters regarding participation and representation within political structures, noting that maintaining internal balance remained important.
