In a significant political development, Rivers State Deputy Governor Professor Ngozi Nma Odu has formally joined the All Progressives Congress (APC). The registration was completed in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area (ONELGA), 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 toured ONELGA’s six zones to inform residents and party members about the ongoing APC electronic registration drive. During the tour, she urged citizens to register in large numbers, emphasizing the importance of strengthening the party’s grassroots presence. She also appealed to supporters to back President Tinubu and Governor Fubara, highlighting the need for unified support ahead of future elections.
The decision by high‑ranking officials like Professor Odu to join the APC underscores the party’s growing influence in Rivers State. With the registration process now complete, her move is likely to have significant implications for the state’s political dynamics, potentially influencing the choices of other stakeholders and residents. The APC’s efforts to expand its membership and solidify its position are part of a broader strategy to consolidate power and prepare for upcoming elections. As Nigeria’s political scene continues to unfold, developments such as Professor Odu’s party affiliation are being closely watched by analysts and observers alike.
