Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has officially switched allegiance from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The governor made the announcement during a stakeholders meeting convened at the Government House in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.
Fubara’s defection adds to a growing list of political figures who have moved to the APC this year, signaling continued shifts in Nigeria’s political landscape ahead of upcoming elections. The governor’s decision aligns him with the party currently controlling the federal government, strengthening APC’s influence in Rivers State and the wider South-South region.
The announcement marks a significant political development in the state, with the governor joining several colleagues who have previously made similar moves to the APC. The implications of this defection for local and national politics are expected to unfold in the coming weeks.
