2027 Showdown: Rivers Political Tension Deepens as APC Governors Rally Behind Fubara
The political crisis in Rivers State has intensified as moves by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, to block Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s 2027 re-election bid appear to be faltering. Several governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have reportedly thrown their weight behind Fubara, escalating the rift between the former allies.
Sources within the APC disclosed that renewed hostilities between Wike and Fubara were triggered by the decision of influential APC governors to support Fubara’s second-term ambition—an outcome said to have angered the FCT minister. The situation was further reinforced by the APC leadership’s apparent endorsement of Fubara, with party leaders openly commending his governance record and infrastructure projects.
