“The President handed the entire Rivers political structure to Wike. Fubara only joined the APC to outmaneuver Wike and secure a second term, but the leadership understood the President’s body language,” the source said.…....
He added that Tinubu twice saved Fubara from impeachment, each time advising him to focus on governance and leave party politics to Wike. “All parties agreed Fubara would not seek a second term. He accepted, which is why Wike insists, ‘Agreement is agreement.’”
The APC insider noted that Fubara may have been misled by certain chieftains. Even during the recent governorship screening, the party leadership warned him that the Presidency and Governors’ Forum were not on his side. “Fubara had no input in the APC screening for Rivers assembly candidates. His loyalists were disqualified. Wike controls everything until something changes.”
