APC Declares Wike Will Be Under Fubara's Leadership If He Defects - Political Hierarchy Emphasized

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has declared that if Nyesom Wike, the River State Governor, defects to the party, he will operate under the leadership of Siminalayi Fubara. The APC clarified that the party's political structure and hierarchy will be respected, regardless of Wike's status at the federal level.

The party emphasized that defecting to the APC does not automatically confer control over the existing party structure in the state. The APC highlighted that leadership positions follow official positions and not past influences, stressing that political loyalty is expected to align with the current authority.

This statement comes amidst disputes over control of political structures and loyalties in River State.
