Labour Party in Rivers State has endorsed the Peoples Democratic Party PDP governorship candidate, Sim Fubura, for Governor ahead of the March 11 elections.

He stated, “Voting a riverine candidate in the person of Simimialayi Funara from the South East Senatorial District of the state during the up coming governorship poll ensures that the Labour Party and her members are defenders and ambassadors of the values that have set her Obidient movement apart from all other parties.”

Meanwhile, the governorship candidate, Beatrice Itubo who was only two days ago endorsed by Peter Obi, the party’s presidential candidate, has yet to react.

GWG.ng reports that Mrs Itubo has in the past fought off allegations of being a mole of Governor Nyesom Wike in the governorship contest.

A former labour leader, Beatrice Itubo had gone out her way to criticise the outgoing govenrment with a pledge to reverse some of its policies.
