Governor Siminalayi Fubara has reportedly emerged as the only governorship aspirant issued an APC certificate of clearance for the Rivers State primaries, with no other aspirant receiving the same document so far.
Notably, allies of FCT Minister Nyesom Wike have remained silent over the development, though some members of his political circle have been allocated House of Representatives seats — suggesting a quiet behind-the-scenes arrangement.
Political observers say the move signals a major shift ahead of the 2027 governorship race, with Fubara appearing to hold a decisive edge in the unfolding power battle within Rivers politics.
