2027: “Nothing will stop him” – APC chieftain declares on Governor Fubara’s second term
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress APC in Rivers State has said Governor Siminalyi Fubara will contest for a second term in 2027 without obstacles.
The party leader stated that current political realities strongly position the governor to seek re-election on the APC platform.
APC Chieftain Speaks on 2027 Race
Speaking on Wednesday, Emeka Bekee made the claim during a live television interview while responding to questions on Rivers politics.
Bekee said Governor Fubara is well placed and determined to run for another term when the next governorship election approaches.
His comments come amid rising political tension in Rivers State, fuelled by a prolonged power struggle.
The crisis is widely linked to disagreements between the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and Governor Fubara.
Bekee explained that APC internal processes would decide candidates ahead of the 2027 elections.
He noted that the party has several recognised methods, including consensus and other internal arrangements.
The APC chieftain stressed that no candidate automatically receives a ticket without following due process.
However, he suggested that recent political developments could favour sitting governors aligned with the party.
Bekee hinted that governors who recently joined the APC may receive strong backing at the national level.
He said Governor Fubara would still buy nomination forms and officially declare interest in the race.
According to him, national political agreements could play a decisive role in the final outcome.
Bekee argued that Rivers State needs stability and development, not prolonged political conflicts.
He warned that continued crisis could slow governance and economic progress in the state.
The APC chieftain added that if party understanding supports second-term bids for incumbents, Fubara would not be excluded.
He said such an arrangement would remove obstacles to the governor’s re-election ambition.
Bekee concluded that once the party decides its direction, Fubara’s second-term bid would be unavoidable.
In his words, “Nobody Will Stop Him.”
