In a strategic move following the loss of the PDP structure to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has directed all 23 local government chairmen to contest the upcoming local elections under the All People’s Party (APP).
With the elections slated for October 5th, Fubara’s directive signals a major political shift, shaking the state’s political landscape as the chairmen prepare to rally behind the new party banner.
This decisive action is seen as a critical maneuver in Fubara’s bid to consolidate power and reassert control in Rivers politics.
