Nigeria: 2027 - Will APC Sacrifice Fubara to Please Wike?
Governor Fubara called his defection a 'spiritual assignment' to boost Rivers State's development and align with President Tinubu’s re-election, marking a major political shift.
- On Friday at the Government House in Port Harcourt, Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara received an APC membership card after leaving the Peoples Democratic Party.
- Describing the decision as a `spiritual assignment`, Fubara said joining APC promotes Rivers State's safety, progress, growth and ensures a seamless relationship with President Bola Tinubu.
- Tony Okocha-led APC officials presented the membership card and Minister Festus Keyamo welcomed Fubara, saying President Bola Tinubu has delivered for Rivers State and the South-South on Friday.
- The move marks a partisan shift as Minister Festus Keyamo said Fubara's exit from the Peoples Democratic Party signals the death of the soul of the opposition party.
- DAILY POST reported the initial announcement on Tuesday, and the membership ceremony coincided with APC ministers flagging off the 7km Ipo Town–Airport bypass and Ikwerre Road–Igwuruta–Airport Road Corridor.
