Rivers Senator Defects from PDP to APC, Cites Support for Tinubu
On Tuesday, during a Senate plenary session, Godswill Akpabio, the Senate President, read a letter announcing the defection of the lone Senator from Rivers State from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). The Senator attributed this decision to support the "Renewed Hope Agenda" of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, highlighting the exemplary leadership of the administration.
This defection is part of a larger trend, as six members of the House of Representatives from Rivers State have previously defected to the APC, including notable figures such as Dumnamen Dekor and Cyril Hart. Other defectors include Godwin Solomon Bob, Victor Obuzor, Bless Amadi, and Felix Uch Bonifac.
The political landscape in Rivers State continues to shift, with significant implications for local governance and party dynamics.
