The All Progressives Congress (APC) has reportedly disqualified several politicians linked to Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara from taking part in the party’s House of Representatives primary elections once again.
The decision has sparked fresh political tension within the party, especially among supporters of Governor Fubara, who believe the move is aimed at weakening his influence ahead of future elections. According to party insiders, the affected aspirants were removed over issues related to party guidelines and eligibility requirements, although critics argue that internal political rivalry may be behind the action.
This latest development adds to the ongoing power struggle within Rivers State politics, where divisions between different political camps have continued to shape major party decisions. Supporters of the affected candidates have expressed disappointment, saying the repeated disqualifications could reduce fair competition within the primaries.
Political observers say the situation may further deepen tensions inside the APC as preparations for upcoming elections continue. Many party members are now watching closely to see whether the disqualified aspirants will challenge the decision or seek alternative political options.
