Photo News: No Comment, Gov Siminalayi Fubara Successfully Screened, Cleared for APC Governorship Primaries

Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has been successfully screened and cleared by the All Progressives Congress (APC) screening committee ahead of the party’s governorship primaries for the 2027 general elections.

The screening exercise for Fubara took place at the Plateau Governors Lodge in Abuja on Sunday, May 10, 2026. According to reports, the governor was among 3 serving governors whose credentials were verified and assessed by the committee. He has now been cleared to contest the APC governorship primary scheduled for May 21, 2026.45

Background and Political Context

Governor Fubara, who has been locked in a protracted political feud with his predecessor, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, obtained his APC Expression of Interest and Nomination forms through proxies. A coalition of Rivers APC stakeholders and elders, led by Hon. Awaji-Inombek Abiante, had earlier purchased and donated the forms to support Fubara’s bid for a second term, citing the need for continuity and development in the state.

The move has heightened political tensions in Rivers State, with Wike’s loyalists reportedly opposing Fubara’s defection to the APC and re-election bid.

Congratulations 🎉 to Governor Fubara in advance.

LordBiden:
Too early for that,underate the political tactician the ever wickedest wike at your own peril.

press9jatv:
governor Fubara will win the governorship primary election

Okoyeeboz:
His LG candidates also won primaries back then. What happened to them in the end?

1. What can Fubara do for Tinubu that Wike can't do X3 of that?

2. If Fubara could betray the person who made him Governor, what is the probability that of Tinubu helps Fubara, he won't betray Tinubu?

By the way, Bashiru was sheepishly supporting Fubara cos of crumbs before Rivers boys reset his head for him. Go and watch his interview about the outcome of Fubara's screening.

Tenses:
You people are the vultures eating away the fragile essence of this country.

Your mind is already fixed on rigging the 2027 election.

Sooner than later you lot will be disgraced and perish with your corruptions.

poiZon:
What kind of betrayal will fubara do to Tinubu?
Will Tinubu contest as god of ur clan come 2031?
U should be thinking of how wike will deliver fct to Tinubu so he can atleast save his job.

Alphanancy:
He is only as wicked as the federal might allows him. Check his records, without federal backup he is a cry baby. You may want to watch the before and after videos of the 2015 elections.

Okoyeeboz:
Don't worry about Wike, worry about your serial loser who came to the FCT, raised up the hands of a candidate and the candidate still lost.

The same loser raised up the hand of a candidate in his own home state and that one came 3rd. Even APC got more votes.

Lanretoye:
Fubara should just respect himself and leave the race,the online supporters and online river state citizens can’t help him further.
All their Fubara 5 - wike 0 has led him to this point,people that want to burn rivers should start buying petrol

BarrElChapo:
He is gonna lose the primaries. Wike has defeated him already, I believe he agreed to do one term before BAT.
