Analysis: APC's Policy Targets River State Governor Fubara, Says Prof. Ikila

Prof. Anthoni Ikila, the Director of the Commonwealth Institute for Advanced Professional Studies, highlighted the political implications of the APC's no automatic ticket policy, particularly targeting influential figures like Governor Fubara in River State. Fubara's political situation, facing opposition from key party figures and power brokers, makes him vulnerable under this policy.

Ikila noted the complexity of the political landscape within the APC, with power struggles and attempts to balance loyalty and control. He warned of negative consequences for internal democracy within the party.

The analysis suggests a strategic game within the APC leadership to manage competing interests and maintain power.
