BREAKING: Governor Fubara loses out again as the APC House of Reps. screening committee disqualifies three serving House of Reps members loyal to him from participating in tomorrow's primaries, while clearing all allies of FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, including Martin Amaewhule, the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly.
Disqualified Governor Fubara loyalists include:
1. Hon. Anderson Alisson
2. Hon. Abiante Awaji Imombek
3. Hon. Boma Goodhead
Cleared Wike allies include:
- Hon. Hart Cyril
- Hon. Blessing Amadi
- Hon. Dumnamene Detor
- Hon. Martin Amaewhule (Replaces OK Chinda who bought the APC governorship forms)
- Hon. Solomon Bob
- Hon. Uche Felix Nwaeke
- Hon. Victor Chukwuemele Obuzor
Other allies of the minister were also cleared to replace the three disqualified Rep members.
The three Rep members were part of the lawmakers who sided with Governor Fubara during the political crisis in Rivers State. They were also part of the four lawmakers who defected with Governor Fubara to the APC.
The fourth Rep member, Boniface Sunday Emerengwa, is said to have gotten the Senate nomination forms, but the final list is not yet out.
