Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, on Tuesday formally severed ties with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and announced his entry into the All Progressives Congress (APC), signalling one of the most consequential political shifts in the state since the return of democracy in 1999.
The governor made the declaration during a well-attended stakeholders’ meeting at the Government House in Port Harcourt, where he openly credited President Bola Tinubu for what he described as his survival in office amid months of political turmoil.
Addressing party leaders, traditional rulers and supporters, Fubara stated that his decision was anchored on gratitude and political necessity.
