Fubara Leaves APC Screening Venue Amid Political Tension

Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, on Sunday exited the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship screening exercise in Abuja without speaking to journalists, sparking fresh political speculation ahead of the 2027 elections.

The screening, held at the Plateau State Governor’s Lodge, reportedly lasted only a short while before the governor left the venue. Eyewitnesses said Fubara appeared dissatisfied as he departed, refusing to respond to questions from members of the press.

The development has fueled reactions within political circles, especially amid the lingering political rivalry involving the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.

While some party insiders claimed the Rivers governor was unhappy with the atmosphere surrounding the exercise, supporters of Fubara dismissed the reports, insisting his screening was completed smoothly and without issues.

The APC screening exercise forms part of preparations for the party’s build-up to the 2027 governorship elections.
