Rivers Crisis Deepens as APC Governors Back Fubara

The political crisis in Rivers State has taken a dramatic turn as reports indicate that all APC governors across Nigeria have thrown their weight behind Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s 2027 re-election bid. The development is seen as a direct challenge to the growing influence of the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.

According to political insiders, the backing from APC governors is strategic and deliberate. They reportedly view Fubara as a stabilizing force in Rivers State and believe supporting his second-term ambition will weaken long-standing power dominance in the state’s political structure.

This move has further widened the crack between Fubara and his former political ally, Wike. Observers say the support from APC governors signals a shift where party lines are being ignored in favor of influence, control, and future political calculations.
