PDP Criticizes River State Governor's Defection to APC as "Pitiful" Amid Political Turmoil

River State Governor Siminalayi Fubara's defection from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been condemned by the PDP as pitiful and self-inflicted. The PDP accuses Fubara of succumbing to political pressure and aligning with APC leader Bola Tinubu.

The defection reflects power struggles within River State's political landscape, with PDP urging Fubara to avoid becoming a victim of Stockholm syndrome. The move underscores the challenges faced by democratic institutions in Nigeria and the dominance of individuals over institutional frameworks.
