Rivers Lawmakers Loyal to Fubara Fail APC Screening

Three federal lawmakers from Rivers State, who are loyal to Governor Fubara, have not passed the screening conducted by the All Progressives Congress (APC). The failure of these lawmakers is reportedly connected to issues regarding their eligibility and political alignment within the party's structure.

This situation has emerged during a period of increasing political tension in Rivers State, particularly as the state prepares for the upcoming 2027 general elections. The implications of this screening failure could significantly impact the political landscape in the region as factions within the APC navigate their positions and strategies leading up to the elections.
