The Rivers State Governor, Siminilayi Fubara, on Tuesday dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The governor confirmed his switch to the APC at a stakeholders meeting held at the Government House in Port Harcourt.
The announcement came a few hours after a meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the State House, Abuja.
With this development, APC now controls all the six states in the South -South, namely Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, Edo and Rivers.
This followed the defection four of the governors previously elected on the PDP platform in the last few weeks.
“We can’t support President (Tinubu) if we don’t fully identify with him, not just the backyard support.
“So we have taken that decision here today that everyone who has followed and suffered with me, the decision this evening is that we are moving to the APC, ” Fubara stated at the meeting.
