Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara has defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC, dumping the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Fubara announced this at 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.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Monday
held confidential discussions with the Governor.
The engagement, held at the State House in Abuja, came against the backdrop of escalating political friction in Rivers State and ongoing uncertainties regarding Fubara’s standing within the PDP.
