Nigeria: Fubara Remains APC Leader in Rivers, Says Bwala

President Tinubu's office and APC leaders stress Governor Fubara's uncontested leadership and call for immediate party congresses to unify Rivers APC members.

  • On Thursday, the Presidency affirmed Governor Fubara is the leader of Rivers State's APC through Daniel Bwala on Channels Television.
  • Rivers State APC said the reaffirmation aimed to correct what it called a `false or misleading narrative` about leadership and welcomed it as upholding party rules and defending Governor Siminalayi Fubara's position.
  • Darlington Nwauju, Rivers APC Publicity Secretary, urged Governor Siminalayi Fubara to convoke a stakeholders meeting and requested immediate ward, LGA and State congresses, reminding the National Working Committee of subsisting court decisions.
  • Daniel Bwala said the Presidency supports Governor Siminalayi Fubara carrying out his duties without interference and acknowledged Nyesom Wike's instrumental role while noting he is not an APC member.
  • The national APC's policy stance suggests alignment with Prof Nentawe Yilwatda, national APC leadership, and Senator Ajibola Basiru, positioning APC governors to lead state party affairs for mobilisation and cohesion.
