Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, on Sunday refused to address journalists after appearing before the All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship screening committee at the Plateau State Governors’ Lodge in Abuja.
After the screening, Fubara was seen leaving the venue as journalists asked him questions about the exercise.
He, however, declined to speak, responding only with a brief remark: “No comment.”

Fubara appeared before the APC Governorship Screening Committee chaired by the party’s National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda.
