The Enforcers of Good Governance (EGG), a socio-political group in Rivers State, has called on Governor Siminalayi Fubara to prioritise political stability and inclusiveness as discussions around the 2027 governorship election gain momentum. In an open letter signed by its founder, Dr Kingsley Ogu, on Sunday, the group expressed concern over growing speculation about the governor's future political arrangements. It described such conversations as speculative but acknowledged they have sparked interest among political stakeholders across the state.
EGG highlighted the influence of Deputy Governor Prof. Ngozi Odu in the Orashi axis, which includes Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni, Ahoada East, Ahoada West and Abua/Odual Local Government Areas. The group noted that Odu's political support in these areas contributed to the administration's performance in the 2023 election. Her background in the civil service and public sector was cited as a factor in her emergence as deputy governorship candidate.
The group emphasized that the working relationship within the current administration, even during political challenges, has been key to governance stability. It pointed out that electoral outcomes in Rivers are often determined by results in Port Harcourt, Obio/Akpor and parts of the Orashi region. EGG, which claims presence in all 23 Local Government Areas, urged sustained consultation with political stakeholders. It stressed that inclusiveness and internal balance in political structures would strengthen confidence ahead of 2027.
