Fresh political tension is sweeping through Rivers State following reports that Governor Siminalayi Fubara may be preparing to dump the political structure aligned with the All Progressives Congress (APC) and move to the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) after an alleged exclusion from a recent APC screening exercise.
The unfolding development has triggered widespread speculation and heated debate across political circles, with many observers describing it as a potential turning point in the battle for control of Rivers politics.
Although neither Governor Fubara nor the APC leadership has officially confirmed the reports, the rumours have continued to gain traction, fueling fresh uncertainty over the governor’s next political move.
The speculation comes amid deepening tensions and realignments within Rivers State’s power structure, where rival camps have continued to struggle for dominance ahead of future elections.
Political analysts say any decision by Fubara to align with the NDC could significantly alter the political equation in the state and weaken existing alliances within the ruling party framework.
Observers also believe the reported APC screening snub may have exposed widening cracks within the party, further intensifying the ongoing political crisis surrounding the governor’s camp.
Supporters of Fubara have already taken to social media to defend the governor, with some insisting that any attempt to sideline him politically could backfire and reshape voter loyalties across the state.
Others, however, argue that the governor’s next step could determine the future balance of power not only in Rivers State but also within the broader political landscape ahead of 2027.
As political tension continues to build, many Nigerians are closely watching for official reactions that could either confirm or dismiss what is rapidly becoming one of the most talked-about political developments in the country.
