The Presidency has officially recognized Governor Siminalayi Fubara as the leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State.
In a statement attributed to a senior presidential aide, the announcement is seen as a significant political endorsement that could reshape the ruling party’s structure and influence in the oil-rich state.
Governor Fubara, who originally emerged under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has been at the center of prolonged political tensions in Rivers. This declaration suggests deepening alignment with the APC at the national level.
Political observers note that the move may intensify the ongoing realignment of forces in the state ahead of future elections.
