Abuja, Nigeria – A high-profile delegation of All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders, including Dave Umahi, Nuhu Ribadu, and Hope Uzodinma, visited Rivers State Government House, amid ongoing impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
The visit has been interpreted as a significant development, suggesting a shift in power dynamics in Rivers State. Observers note that the presence of these senior APC figures is a clear indication that the party is reevaluating its stance on the state’s politics.
Sources close to the matter indicate that the APC is distancing itself from former Governor Nyesom Wike, now Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, citing his perceived arrogance and disregard for institutions. Insiders suggest that Wike’s influence is waning, and the party is seeking to mitigate potential fallout.
The visit is seen as a show of support for Governor Fubara, who has been at odds with Wike and the Rivers State House of Assembly. Analysts predict that this development could mark a turning point in the state’s politics, with potential implications for Wike’s future in the APC.
The PDP has welcomed the development, with some members expressing hope that it will serve as a lesson to politicians who prioritize power over humility. The party notes that Wike’s actions have fractured the PDP in Rivers State, and his perceived arrogance has made him a liability for the APC.
As the political landscape continues to shift, one thing is clear: the dynamics in Rivers State are changing, and stakeholders are watching closely.
