Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has formally defected to the All Progressives Congress after months of political tension within the Peoples Democratic Party. He announced his decision on Tuesday during a stakeholders meeting held at the Government House in Port Harcourt.

With this move, Fubara becomes the latest governor to shift political allegiance since the 2023 elections. His defection is expected to reshape political alliances in Rivers State, particularly in the face of the strained relationship between him and key figures within the PDP.
