How last minute efforts to “buy off” Fubara’s clearance collapsed as he gets cleared for primary election
Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara is ready, set and prepared for the next leg of his ambition to get re-elected in 2027. This is coming after the APC Governors Screening Committee led by the party’s National Chairman, Professor Yilwatda Nentawe, gave him the green light. Gov. Fubara has been cleared to seek the party’s sole gubernatorial ticket for Rivers State.
Last minute efforts to truncate Fubara’s re-election bid failed as those who made the moves met a brick wall. In fact, an insider APC source told the publication on Wednesday night that there was literal war within the APC national leadership when some external powers sought to “buy off Fubara’s ticket at a very huge price.”
The APC was expected to have released the report of the screening, those of the National Assembly and the presidency yesterday, May 13, but the fight over Fubara’s and those of serving National Assembly Members from Rivers seeking re-election, delayed the release. Just like some “external powers” sought to truncate Fubara’s, the same powers, this medium gathered, have been insisting that all except one Member in the House of Representatives who are pro-Fubara must be replaced by those pro a certain Federal Minister. The “powers” would want only to exclude Hon. Boma Goodhead, a sister to His Highness Mujahideen Dokubo Asari.
