PDP Condemns Gov Fubara's Defection to APC in River State as 'Self-Inflicted Injury'

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) strongly condemns Governor Fubara's defection from PDP to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in River State, Nigeria. The PDP describes the move as a self-inflicted injury and expresses disappointment in the governor's decision.

The party accuses the ruling APC of attempting to gradually entrench itself in the state, posing a threat to democratic norms. The statement also highlights deeper challenges within Nigeria's democratic system, where individuals allegedly overshadow institutions.

PDP expresses sympathy for Governor Fubara but warns against the trend towards electoral authoritarianism.
