If Any APC Governor Was Asked To Take A Bow And Go, It Could Have Been Extended To Fubara

The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has dismissed reports suggesting that Governor Siminalayi Fubara was given a special “take a bow and go” privilege during the party’s recent screening exercise, insisting that there is no verified evidence to support such claims.

The State Publicity Secretary, Chibuike Ikenga, explained that the party has not seen any video evidence, official record, or documented proof indicating that the governor was excused from questioning or given preferential treatment during the process. He maintained that conclusions cannot be drawn based on speculation or unverified reports circulating in the public space.

Ikenga urged caution and stressed the need for restraint in interpreting the situation. According to him, internal screening procedures differ, and without an official report from the screening committee, it is impossible to confirm what actually transpired.

He stated, “As we speak, we do not know whether the serving or returning governors were asked to bow and go,” stressing that “if any APC governor was asked to take a bow and go, it could have been extended to the governor as well.”

The spokesperson further warned against assumptions, noting that such narratives could mislead the public if not properly verified. He emphasized that only a formal report from the screening committee can provide clarity on how candidates, including serving governors, were treated during the exercise.

Ikenga added that the APC remains committed to transparency and due process, but urged the public to wait for official findings before drawing conclusions. He said it would be unfair to interpret isolated claims as established facts when the party has not issued any confirming statement.

He concluded by reaffirming that until the screening committee releases its official report, all claims regarding Governor Fubara’s alleged treatment remain speculative. According to him, responsible political communication requires patience, accuracy, and reliance on verified information rather than hearsay or assumptions….See More
