The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has reportedly endorsed Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, for a second term in office.
The endorsement, which emerged on Monday, is seen as a major political development in Rivers State and the wider South-South region, ahead of the 2027 general elections. Party sources said the decision followed consultations within the APC leadership, with the NWC expressing confidence in Governor Fubara’s leadership style and governance record.
According to the party, the endorsement is aimed at strengthening unity within the APC and consolidating its growing influence in Rivers State. The move is also viewed as part of the party’s broader strategy to expand its political foothold in the region.
Governor Fubara, who has been at the centre of intense political realignments in the state, has continued to emphasize peace, inclusiveness and development in his administration. Supporters say the APC’s backing underscores recognition of his performance and grassroots appeal.
As of the time of filing this report, there has been no official statement from Governor Fubara in response to the endorsement. Political observers believe the development may reshape alliances and campaign dynamics as preparations gradually begin for the next electoral cycle.
