Rivers State witnessed a significant political shift on Tuesday as Governor Siminalayi Fubara formally announced his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The declaration was made during a high-level stakeholders’ meeting held at the Government House in Port Harcourt, where the governor confirmed that he would now align with the ruling party at the national level.
His move marks one of the most notable political realignments in the state this year.
Governor Fubara’s switch to the APC adds to the growing list of political leaders who have abandoned the PDP in recent months, highlighting a wave of defections that continues to reshape Nigeria’s political landscape ahead of future elections.
While details surrounding the governor’s decision and the implications for the state’s political configuration remain developing, the announcement has already triggered widespread reactions across Rivers State’s political circle.
More updates are expected as the situation unfolds.
