The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has officially registered Governor Siminalayi Fubara as a member of the party. This development comes after Fubara announced his intention to join the APC earlier in the week, citing his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as a move in the best interest of the people of Rivers State.

According to a photograph shared by the media aide to the state APC chairman, Tony Okocha, the registration took place at the Government House in Port Harcourt on Friday. The photo shows Governor Fubara placing his thumbprint in a book believed to be the party’s membership register.

Fubara’s decision to defect to the APC is also seen as a gesture of appreciation to President Bola Tinubu, whom he credits with playing a significant role in his current position as Governor of Rivers State. This move marks a significant shift in the state’s political landscape, as Fubara’s defection could potentially alter the balance of power in the region.

The APC’s acceptance of Fubara as a member is likely to have implications for the state’s political dynamics, particularly in the lead-up to future elections. As the Governor of Rivers State, Fubara’s affiliation with the APC could influence the voting patterns of his constituents and potentially impact the outcome of upcoming polls.

Fubara’s defection to the APC has sparked interest in the political community, with many observers watching to see how this development will unfold. The Governor’s decision to join the APC is seen as a strategic move, one that could have far-reaching consequences for the people of Rivers State and the country at large. As the situation continues to evolve, it remains to be seen how Fubara’s new affiliation will shape the state’s political future.
