Governor Fubara Asserts "I'm Number 1" in Rivers State Politics Amid Allegations and Defection

Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State made a bold declaration asserting his top position in state politics following his defection from the PDP to the APC. This move came after allegations of instability and rifts in the state, with Fubara challenging the registration rules of the APC and claiming to be number one in the state.

The defection led to a public spat with his predecessor, Governor Wike, and accusations of political maneuvering. Speaker Martin Amaewhul also got involved, alleging public engagement issues with Fubara.

The political landscape in Rivers State seems to be experiencing significant upheaval as Fubara solidifies his stance in the APC.
