A public policy analyst and political communications strategist, Kenny Okolugbo, has berated Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, over the purchase of the governorship nomination form for a second term.
Naija News recalls that Governor Fubara opted out of the All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries ahead of the 2027 general elections on the eve of the exercise.
Speaking on the development, Okolugbo, during an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’, said the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, made it clear that there was an agreement that Fubara would not seek a second term.
Okolugbo, a former aide to Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, said Fubara should never have bought the form for a second term, citing the number of Rivers State House of Assembly members who are against him.
He said, “Wike made it very clear and didn’t hide the fact that there was an agreement of Fubara not going for a second term.
“But the more time drew closer, the more it looked like Fubara was going to breach the agreement.
“When you have 30 members of the House of Assembly and 27 of them are against you, you must try to poach them and if you can’t poach them, then you must capitulate.”
