Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has announced his withdrawal from the All Progressives Congress governorship primary election in the state. In a personally signed statement on Wednesday, Fubara said the decision came after deep reflection and extensive consultations with family and associates. He described it as a difficult but necessary step and pledged to support whoever emerges as the party’s candidate.
Key Points:
Fubara’s exit reduces the field and could ease tensions within Rivers APC.
His pledge to support the eventual candidate may help unify the party ahead of 2027.
The withdrawal may be linked to internal party struggles, particularly with Minister Nyesom Wike’s camp.
It leaves other aspirants, likely backed by Wike, to compete for the ticket.
The decision could affect Fubara’s political future and his relationship with the party leadership
