The All Progressives Congress (APC) has not yet released an official report regarding the screening of Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, according to the party’s National Secretary, Ajibola Bashiru. Speaking to journalists on Sunday, Bashiru clarified that appearing before the screening committee is a standard procedural step, and the committee will only publish its findings after meeting with all required individuals.
Bashiru emphasized that no definitive conclusions should be drawn at this stage, as the screening process is still ongoing. He stated, “I don’t know what you mean by screening. It appears that anybody that appears before the APC screening committee, of course, it is necessary as part of the process.”
He further explained that once the committee has completed its interactions with all expected participants, a comprehensive report will be compiled and released. “After appearing before the screening committee, the screening committee will issue its report. As at now, when it has seen everyone it is supposed to see, we will now sit down and come up with the report of the screening committee,” Bashiru said.
Bashiru’s remarks come amid growing speculation about Fubara’s political alignment ahead of the 2027 elections. The APC National Secretary urged the public to wait for the official report before making any judgments. “As at now, there is no report of screening,” he reiterated.
