Assembly and the National Assembly. Also, those in federal government agencies were nominated by him.
With the primaries billed to hold in each of the local government where the chairmen he nominated are in charge, many observers are worried that Fubara does not stand any chance to clinch the party ticket.
Last Tuesday, Wike allegedly held a closed-door meeting with the National Chairman of the APC, Prof. Yilwatda, at his Abuja residence.
Though details of the meeting were not officially disclosed to the media, on Wednesday, Wike, while inspecting ongoing road projects in Karu, Apo-Karshi and Kubwa in the FCT, dismissed criticisms trailing the visit, insisting that politics should not be reduced to hostility and suspicion.
However, many believe that his visit revolved around ensuring Fubara is not given any undue advantage to get the party ticket.
The question on the lips of members of the party is: Will the APC set a dangerous precedent by denying Fubara a reelection ticket? Will the party kowtow to the decision of one man who is not a member of the party? Will the party serve man, God and mammoth at the same time? The people of the state are watching with bated breath.
