Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has finally defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The governor announced this at a stakeholders meeting at the Government House in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.

Fubara said he decided to leave the PDP to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the APC, saying that he would have become a former governor without Tinubu’s support.

“The reason why we are still standing is because of that place, and the truth is, without Mr President, there wouldn’t be any His Excellency Siminalayi Fubara; it would have been the former governor.

“So, we have every reason because the truth, let nobody be fooled in this state, we have the people, we have the supporters. Our only thank-you to Mr President is to support him, and we cannot support the President in isolation;

“We cannot support the President if we don’t fully identify with him, not backyard support. So, we have taken that decision today since we have gotten the pass. Everyone here who had followed me, who had suffered with me, our decision today, this evening, we are moving to APC,” Fubara said

His defection came four days after the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Martin Amaewhule, and 17 others dumped the PDP for the APC on December 5, 2025.
