RIVERS STATE GOVERNOR FUBARA DEFECTS FROM PDP TO APC

Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has officially switched his political allegiance from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All-Progressives Congress. The governor announced his defection on Tuesday during a stakeholders’ meeting held at the Government House in Port Harcourt.

The move marks a significant political realignment in the oil-rich state. Governor Fubara addressed attendees directly, stating his rationale for the cross-carpeting. “This decision reflects my commitment to ensuring stable governance and aligning with partners who support the progress of Rivers State,” he reportedly said.

His defection occurs against a backdrop of sustained political tensions within the state. This development is widely seen as signaling the start of a new and distinct phase in the political landscape of Rivers State. The full implications for the state’s governance and the national political scene are yet to be determined.
