Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has announced his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), declaring his move during a stakeholders’ meeting at the Government House in Port Harcourt.
“We can’t support President (Tinubu) if we don’t fully identify with him, not just backyard support.
“Our decision this evening is that we are moving to the APC,” Fubara said as he announced his defection from the PDP to the APC
The development comes amid political tension in the oil rich Niger Delta state.
Recall that President Bola Tinubu on Monday held a closed-door meeting with the governor, a development that followed rising political tensions in Rivers State and growing uncertainty surrounding Fubara’s position within the PDP.
