Rivers APC courts Fubara
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State is making overtures to Governor Siminalayi Fubara, signaling possible political realignments ahead of the 2027 elections.
Party stakeholders say the move is aimed at forging alliances that could boost the APC’s chances in a state long dominated by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Fubara, who has faced internal tussles within his party, is increasingly seen as a strategic figure whose support could sway voter loyalty.
During recent meetings in Port Harcourt, APC leaders commended Fubara’s governance approach and hinted at collaboration in infrastructure and grassroots mobilization. Political watchers note that the outreach reflects Rivers’ history of shifting alliances, where coalition-building often determines who controls the state.
Governor Fubara has yet to publicly respond to the APC’s courtship.
