Wike Meets Rivers APC Leaders Amid Fubara's Absence

On Friday, Nyesom Wike, the former governor of Rivers State, conducted a private meeting with leaders of the Rivers APC in Abuja. This meeting, which was held behind closed doors, is seen as part of early consultations in preparation for the 2026 APC national convention.

Although details of the discussions remain unclear, sources within the party indicated that the focus was on strengthening internal structures and building alliances. The meeting was attended by notable figures, including Victor Giadom, the recently re-elected national vice chairman of the APC for the South-South region, and Martin Amaewhul, the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

However, the current governor, Siminalayi Fubara, was absent from the meeting, which has raised questions regarding the current political dynamics in Rivers State. As of the time of reporting, no official statement has been released regarding the outcomes of the meeting, but further details are expected to emerge soon.
