Fubara Passes APC Screening,Stuns Party As He Walkd Out Mid-Process

Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has reportedly scaled through the All Progressives Congress (APC) screening process before unexpectedly walking away from the exercise, sparking fresh political tension within the party ahead of the 2027 elections.

According to reports from the screening venue, Fubara appeared before the APC panel for the governorship screening exercise in Rivers State but left abruptly before addressing journalists or completing post-screening formalities.

Party insiders described the move as surprising, given that the governor had earlier been expected to fully participate in the process as part of preparations for the APC primaries.

The development has further intensified speculation about deep divisions within the Rivers APC structure, especially as political realignments continue ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Fubara, who has been at the center of a prolonged political struggle in the state, has yet to issue an official statement explaining his withdrawal from public engagement after the screening.

Observers say the incident adds another layer of uncertainty to Rivers politics, where rival camps continue to jostle for control of party structures and governorship influence.

The APC leadership in Rivers State is yet to issue a formal clarification on the governor’s action at the screening exercise.
