In a significant political development, Rivers State Deputy Governor Professor Ngozi Nma Odu has formally joined the All Progressives Congress (APC). The registration process was completed in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area (ONELGA) of the state, specifically at Ward 8, Unit 11 in Akabuka town.
This move follows closely on the heels of Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s decision to join the ruling party, indicating a shift in the state’s political landscape. As part of an effort to boost party membership, Odu participated in a tour across ONELGA’s six zones. The tour aimed to inform residents and party members about the ongoing APC electronic registration drive.
During the tour, Professor Odu encouraged citizens to register with the APC in large numbers, emphasizing the importance of strengthening the party’s presence at the grassroots level. She also appealed to supporters to back President Tinubu and Governor Fubara, highlighting the need for unified support in the lead-up to future elections.
The decision by high-ranking officials like Professor Odu to join the APC underscores the party’s growing influence in Rivers State. As the political environment continues to evolve, the APC’s electronic registration drive is expected to play a crucial role in mobilizing supporters and shaping the state’s electoral landscape.
With the registration process now complete, Professor Odu’s move is likely to have significant implications for the state’s political dynamics. As a key figure in Rivers State’s government, her decision to join the APC may influence the political choices of other stakeholders and residents in the region.
The APC’s efforts to expand its membership and solidify its position in Rivers State are part of a broader strategy to consolidate power and prepare for upcoming elections. As the political scene in Nigeria continues to unfold, developments such as Professor Odu’s party affiliation are being closely watched by analysts and observers alike.
