BREAKING: Rivers Governor Fubara Officially Registers as APC Member

Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has officially completed his registration as a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
This major political shift took place on Friday at the Government House in Port Harcourt.

Fubara Completes APC Registration

The confirmation came through photographs shared by Tony Okocha, the media aide to the Rivers APC chairman.
In the images, Governor Fubara is seen placing his thumbprint in the APC membership register, confirming the end of his journey with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

This action adds weight to his earlier declaration that he has joined the APC.

Why Fubara Left the PDP

Governor Fubara stated that his decision to join the APC was made in the interest of the people of Rivers State.
He also thanked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for supporting his administration during political tensions in the state.

According to Fubara, his move reflects gratitude and a commitment to maintaining stability in Rivers politics.

Impact on Rivers Political Landscape

Fubara’s defection marks one of the most significant political realignments in the state in recent years.
With the governor now in the APC, the balance of power in Rivers State is expected to shift.

Political observers believe that the move will reshape alliances, party loyalty, and future elections in the state.

Background to the Defection

Earlier in the week, Governor Fubara announced his exit from the PDP.
He explained that his decision followed consultations with stakeholders and leaders across the state.
His final registration now settles any doubts about his political direction.

What Happens Next?

With the governor officially in the APC, the party may begin restructuring its leadership and strategy in the state.
The future will reveal how the new alignment affects governance, appointments, and political negotiations.
