Rivers: Tension as APC Sacks All Wike's Allies Elected in Just Concluded Primaries

The recently reinstated leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has announced that all the nominations that happened in the just-concluded primaries of the party in the state are null and void.

Recall that the primaries produced Kingsley Chinda, an ally of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, as the APC governorship candidate in the state, after the withdrawal of Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

Reinstated APC leadership in Rivers sacked all Nyesom Wike's allies elected in the party's primaries ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Other allies of Wike, who is the immediate past governor of the state, also emerged as the APC candidates for the 2027 national and state Houses of Assembly elections.
