A source in the presidency has come out to criticise the recent endorsement of Sim Fubara by NWC of APC.
He said ‘President Bola Tinubu agreed to reinstate Siminalayi Fubara as the governor of Rivers state- but with the condition that he will not seek re-election in 2027, TheCable.
According to him “The truce was reached during a closed-door meeting at the Presidential Villa, where Tinubu hosted Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT); Fubara; Martin Amaewhule, the suspended speaker of the Rivers assembly; and a handful of lawmakers.
The presidency sources say the deal, part of a broader effort to restore democratic order in Rivers, involved significant concessions one of which is that Fubara will be reinstated to complete his four-year tenure but must forgo any plans to seek a second term in 2027 — a move that will limit his clout but to which he agreed.
