Rivers Senators Loyal to Wike Defect to APC, Deepening PDP Divisions
Two Senators from Rivers State, loyal to Governor Nyesom Wike, have defected from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), citing unresolved internal divisions within the PDP. This move follows recent exits from the PDP, including Governor Siminalayi Fubara and 15 other members, significantly bolstering the APC's influence in the strategic state of Rivers.
The defections highlight the ongoing political realignments and power struggles within Nigerian politics, particularly in Rivers State.
