The article discusses how APC governors are backing Nyesom Wike for his 2027 re-election bid in Rivers State, leading to internal strife within the party. The support for Wike comes amidst tensions with Fubara, triggering a political showdown.
Wike's camp's actions, including supporting Samuel Anyanwu for Imo State governor without consulting the incumbent APC governor, Hope Uzodimma, have fueled the discord.
