Rivers Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has directed all 23 local government chairmen in the state to contest the forthcoming local government elections under the banner of the All People’s Party (APP).

The decision comes in the wake of Governor Fubara losing control of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) structure in Rivers State to former governor and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.

The local government elections are scheduled for October 5, 2024.

Wike has maintained significant control over the PDP structure in the state, causing friction between the two leaders.

The power struggle has culminated in Governor Fubara opting to back the APP, a move many see as a bid to counter Wike’s dominance in the state.

With the local government elections fast approaching, this move is expected to reshape the political dynamics in Rivers State.

The APP, previously a lesser-known party in the region, now stands to gain considerable traction, backed by the governor and the incumbent local government chairmen.

Damagun and Wike are killing
PDP gradually

Tinubu understands that his govt has become very unpopular. His strategy now is to weaken opposition parties so he will have an easy ride

Where is Atiku ?

Atiku was the one who started all this fighting.

People always blame those who fight back without asking who started the fighting in the first place

He should understand that the election will be conducted by INEC and the state REC is Mike's friend.

Apparently, Fubabra will not enjoy his regime and might likely manage one term.

The people of Rivers would've woken up and speak against Wike and his intimidation if they never benefited from Wike's loot.

SweetVibe:
Mr Lienus, Fintiri came to your bedroom to tell you he is with Wike??

quote author=zoedew post=132064741]Traitors don’t end well. Fubara acts in desperation. He is now feeding on himself! He just deployed a scorched earth battle strategy that will place his back to the wall very soon.? His worst years are playing out before his very own eyes! It is most dishonourable and foolish to accept office on a platform provided by a political structure and thereafter turn around to refuse to maintain the platform. It is similar to a carpenter who climbs the roof of a building and destroys the ladder which he used to ascend the roof. He will come crashing down. The personal hatred folks have for Wike won’t save Fubara. Only God can!

Bobloco:
Wetin concern Atiku with what is happening in Rivers State 

Why do you lots continue to support evil? 

Let me ask you, will Wike himself tolerate this nonsense he is meting out at Fubara if he were still governor of Rivers State today? 

Will Wike accept a situation whereby, as governor, he will not be the PDP leader in his state?

Can't you think of calamity thinubu has brought upon your kids? Is this a country?
