Determined to break off from the shackles of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, Governor Siminalayi Fubara has reportedly raised a 32- man team as House of Assembly aspirants on the platform of the All Progressive Congress (APC).
The list is headlined by the governor’s staunch loyalists, like Victor Oko-Jumbo, former factional speaker of the state assembly in the heat of the political crisis in the state.
Others are Ambassador Chijioke Ihunwo, former chairman, Obio/Akpor Local Government Council, Sokari Goodboy Sokari, former factional deputy speaker of the state assembly.

While Oko-Jumbo is aspirant for Bonny State Constituency, Sokari Goodboy is for Ahoada West Constituency and Ihunwo for Obio/Akpor Constituency.
The 32 aspirants cover the 32 state constituencies in the state and is seen as Gov. Fubara’s gambit to uproot the often touted Wike structure in the state.
