Rivers Governor Fubara Resigns from PDP, Defects to APC Ahead of 2027 Elections
Rivers State Governor Fubara has resigned from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 elections. The move comes after a closed-door meeting with President Bola Tinubu, a key APC figure.
Fubara's defection is seen as a power struggle against his predecessor, Governor Wike, to assert control over the political structure in the oil-rich state. The defection has also led to a shift in the legislative balance of power, with loyal lawmakers following Fubara to the APC.
