Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, who recently defected from his former party, visited the national headquarters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday at around 6:50 p.m. His arrival at the APC secretariat marked a significant development in his political career. He was received by key party officials, including APC National Secretary Senator Ajibola Basiru, National Welfare Secretary Hon. Donatus Nwapa, and Deputy National Organising Secretary Nze Chidi Duru, while Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development Festus Keyamo also welcomed him.
Dressed in a white kaftan and red cap, Governor Fubara explained that he had initially been expected to attend the Progressive Governors’ meeting but chose to prioritize a visit to the party headquarters. He was then ushered into the National Secretary’s office for a closed‑door meeting with party officials, likely focusing on his defection and future role within the APC.
As a newly defected member, Fubara’s visit is seen as a crucial step in solidifying his position in the party. His decision to join the APC carries significant implications for the political landscape in Rivers State and Nigeria as a whole. The APC, one of the country’s major parties, has been working to expand its membership and influence ahead of future elections, and Fubara’s defection is viewed as a major gain.
Going forward, the governor is expected to play an active part in the party’s activities, contributing to its growth and development. Party leadership will likely work closely with him to ensure a smooth transition and to leverage his experience and influence to advance the APC’s interests. With Fubara’s defection, the APC is poised to strengthen its presence in Rivers State and enhance its prospects in upcoming elections.
