Wike Tried to Stop Fubara’s APC Move, But Hesitation Cost Him - Analyst Reveals”

According to our report, political analyst Austin Aigbe has revealed that former Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike attempted to prevent Governor Siminalayi Fubara from defecting to the APC, but delayed action created the opening Fubara needed.

Speaking to News Central TV, Aigbe explained that Wike underestimated the urgency of the moment, allowing Fubara to consolidate support and reposition himself within the ruling party. If you’re curious about the deeper meaning behind dreams like eating, crying, seeing snakes, floods, or old house.

Aigbe described the defection as a calculated strategy, influenced by APC’s growing dominance and the PDP’s weakening position ahead of the 2027 elections. He noted that the move has shifted loyalty structures in Rivers, with many former PDP allies now gravitating toward APC.

According to our insights, while political realignments are part of Nigeria’s democracy, the key question remains whether Fubara’s new alignment will deliver tangible governance improvements for Rivers residents or simply reshape elite power struggles.
