APC Leadership Faces Criticism Over Silence on Governor Fubara's Impeachment Notice

The article discusses the curious silence of the All Progressives Congress (APC) leadership regarding an impeachment notice against Governor Siminalayi Fubara of River State. Despite the impeachment notice, the APC leadership has not intervened, leading to criticism on social media.

On January 3, 2026, the National Chairman of the APC, Prof. Nentaw Yilwatda, declared Governor Fubara as the leader of the party in River State and pledged support for his second term bid. This declaration has sparked controversy, especially as Governor Fubara's defection to the APC was accompanied by the presentation of a party card bearing the number "001." The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has dismissed Governor Fubara's status as the party leader in the state, emphasizing that the "001" status only applies at the ward level, not at the state level.
