Nigeria’s ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has reportedly appointed Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara to oversee its upcoming presidential primaries, according to local media reports — a development that has triggered widespread political speculation.
The alleged decision, which has not been officially confirmed by the party, is said to place Fubara in a key supervisory role over the internal selection process that will determine the party’s presidential flagbearer.
The report has already stirred controversy within political circles, given Fubara’s current political alignment and ongoing tensions within Rivers State’s political landscape.
As of the time of filing this report, the APC had yet to issue an official statement clarifying the reported appointment, leaving room for uncertainty over the authenticity and scope of the claim.
If confirmed, the move would mark a significant and unexpected development ahead of the party’s internal primaries, potentially reshaping internal dynamics within Nigeria’s dominant political party.
