Nigerian Politician Fubara Defects from PDP to APC, Cites Fresh Start and Alignment with Tinubu

Fubara, a former PDP member, defects to APC attributing his suffering during political crises to PDP's imposition. He acknowledges Bola Ahmed Tinubu's intervention during a crisis and aligns with APC's progressive ideals.

The move comes amidst political instability in River State, with Fubara's defection signaling a major realignment ahead of the 2027 general elections. Several other lawmakers also defect to APC, deepening internal divisions within PDP.

Fubara aims to unify APC and support Tinubu, emphasizing the importance of presidential backing in his decision.
