In a recent development in Rivers State politics, the All Progressives Congress (APC) says the decision by Governor Siminalayi Fubara to leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and join the ruling party has had a strong impact on public support for the APC across the state. Party officials speaking after local delegate elections this weekend described the governor’s defection as a turning point that has helped draw many Rivers residents closer to the APC and renewed confidence in the party’s leadership. They noted enthusiastic reactions from people in constituencies like Ahoada East and Khana, saying large numbers of supporters turned out for the delegate processes and showed visible excitement about Fubara’s new role and the prospects it brings for upcoming bye‑elections.
