Fubara Cleared for APC Governorship Primary in Rivers

Rivers State Governor Fubara has received clearance from the APC screening committee to contest in the party's governorship primary set for May 21. The screening process took place at the Plateau Governor's Lodge in Abuja, where Fubara was among 17 governors whose credentials were verified.

This development is significant as it occurs in the context of the upcoming 2027 Rivers governorship elections. Despite Governor Wike's denials, there are speculations regarding his potential support for former Rivers State Commissioner Alabo Dakorinama in the governorship race.

Additionally, Wike held a closed-door meeting with key political stakeholders in Port Harcourt, indicating ongoing political strategies within the state. The APC governorship primary is anticipated to test the strength of political blocs in Rivers State as the elections approach.
