Fubara Defects from APC to NDC Ahead of 2027 Elections

Siminalayi Fubara has reportedly left the All Progressives Congress (APC) to join the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in anticipation of the 2027 elections. This significant political shift was confirmed during a meeting in Abuja, where Fubara, alongside other party stakeholders, expressed the need to safeguard the interests of Rivers State amid increasing political tensions.

The decision to defect is seen as a strategic move to realign political calculations in the state as the next general elections approach. The involvement of notable figures such as Seriake Dickson, a prominent member of the NDC, underscores the importance of this transition for the party and the political landscape in Rivers State.
