Former Rivers State Governor Defects to APC to Protect State's Interests
Sir Siminalayi Fubara, the former Governor of Rivers State, announced his defection from the People Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in a bid to safeguard the interests of the people of Rivers State. Fubara's move comes amidst a trend of defections in the South-South geopolitical region, with other governors from states like Delta, Akwa Ibom, and Bayelsa also switching to the APC.
Fubara emphasized the need to protect the state's interests and hinted at discussions with key APC figures like Bola Tinubu and Adam Oshiomhole. The defection is seen as a strategic political move ahead of the upcoming elections in the region.
