River State Governor Fubara Set to Defect to APC Amid Political Turmoil
Governor Siminalayi Fubara of River State is reportedly planning to defect from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) after a series of political conflicts with his predecessor Nyesom Wike. The rift escalated to the point of arson attacks and federal intervention, leading to Fubara's suspension and subsequent reinstatement.
Fubara's defection is believed to be a strategic move to seek political refuge and align with the fractured PDP. His political journey includes winning the PDP governorship primary in 2020, securing Wike's endorsement, and winning the 2023 governorship election against APC's Tonye Cole.
The defection is seen as a bid to strengthen his position within the federal power structure.
