In a surprising political development, Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State is reportedly set to exit the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and join the Action Peoples Party (APP). This claim was made by The Publicity Secretary APC Caretaker Committee in Rivers Chibike Ikenga during a recent appearance on News Central......See Full Story>>.....See Full Story>>
Ikenga stated, “Fubara is out of the PDP—he said so a long time ago. But the governor will be the ultimate loser because the party is completely unknown and doesn’t have any structures across the state to withstand the pressures of electioneering processes.”
According to Ikenga, Governor Fubara has already completed plans to join the APP, a move that follows a fallout with his political benefactor and former governor, Nyesom Wike. The discord between Fubara and Wike has been a topic of speculation, and this latest development could significantly impact the political landscape in Rivers State.
The APP, a relatively unknown party in the state, will face the challenge of building its political structures and gaining the support needed to compete in the state’s robust electoral environment.
Governor Fubara’s anticipated move away from the PDP, a dominant force in Rivers State politics, could lead to a major realignment of political alliances and strategies as the state prepares for upcoming elections.
Most of Governor Fubara’s Allie’s have aligned themselves with the APP in Rivers state.
As the situation unfolds, political observers will be watching closely to see how this shift influences the dynamics within Rivers State and whether the governor’s move to APP will gather momentum among his supporters.
