Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has withdrawn from the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primary election, in a dramatic development that has sent shockwaves across the Nigerian political landscape.
The withdrawal, confirmed on Thursday, marks a significant turning point in the build-up to the 2027 governorship contest in Rivers State.
No official reasons have been immediately disclosed by the Governor or his camp for the sudden pull-out. However, political observers are already linking the development to the ongoing power tussle within the Rivers APC structure.
The move is expected to reshape the dynamics of the primary and the wider governorship race, as Fubara had been considered a key figure in the contest.
Further details are expected as the story develops.
