2027: APC Leaders Back Fubara as Wike Draws Battle Line

Emerging political alignments ahead of the 2027 general elections are reshaping Rivers State’s power map, as key All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders reportedly signal support for Governor Siminalayi Fubara amid a deepening rift with former governor and FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.

Party insiders say high-level consultations in Abuja and Port Harcourt have intensified, with stakeholders weighing stability, grassroots acceptance, and national calculations. Fubara’s allies argue that continuity in governance and peace-building gives the state a stronger footing going into 2027.

Wike’s camp, however, is said to be mobilising loyalists, insisting that party discipline and political structures must not be undermined. The development has set the stage for a fierce struggle for control, with fears that parallel blocs could fracture the party ahead of the polls.

Analysts warn that defections, legal battles, and counter-alliances may follow if reconciliation fails. As meetings continue behind closed doors, citizens watch closely, hoping the unfolding contest does not derail development gains or trigger fresh instability in the state.
