APC National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda has described Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s withdrawal from the Rivers State APC governorship primary as a personal decision, insisting that the party followed due process throughout the exercise.
“He pulled out; he stepped down. It is personal to him. He bought the forms, came for screening, passed the screening, and we were waiting for the primaries before he opted to step down,” he stated.
The party’s national chairman further dismissed suggestions that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, influenced the outcome of the APC primary in Rivers State.
“Wike is not in our party. He is in PDP,” Yilwatda said when asked about claims that the former Rivers governor had a hand in the process and that Fubara was unable to secure the APC ticket.
