Political tension resurfaces in Rivers as Wike, Fubara’s allies pick guber forms

Political tension is rising in Rivers State as Governor Siminalayi Fubara and Minister Nyesom Wike's peace agreement appears to be collapsing ahead of the 2027 elections. Fubara's recent defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC) has sparked controversy, especially after his allies purchased gubernatorial forms for him. Meanwhile, Wike's allies, including Dr. Dax George Kelly and Hon. Kingsley Chinda, have also entered the race, alongside Architect Tonye Patrick Cole, who has vowed not to step down for anyone.
