APC Seizes Control of Oil-Rich South-South Region in Nigeria as Governor Defects

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has taken over the South-South region in Nigeria following Governor Siminalayi Fubara's defection from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to APC. This move solidifies APC's control in the region, with APC now governing six out of the region's states.

The defection comes amidst political realignments and power shifts in the country, with APC now in control of 26 out of 36 states in Nigeria. The ruling party's dominance is further highlighted by key defections and victories in off-season elections, signaling a significant political landscape change in the region.
