It's spiritual assignment - Gov Fubara opens up on why he joined APC

Governor Fubara called his defection a 'spiritual assignment' to boost Rivers State's development and align with President Tinubu’s re-election, marking a major political shift.

  • On Friday at the Government House in Port Harcourt, Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara received an APC membership card after leaving the Peoples Democratic Party.
  • Describing the decision as a `spiritual assignment`, Fubara said joining APC promotes Rivers State's safety, progress, growth and ensures a seamless relationship with President Bola Tinubu.
  • Tony Okocha-led APC officials presented the membership card and Minister Festus Keyamo welcomed Fubara, saying President Bola Tinubu has delivered for Rivers State and the South-South on Friday.
  • The move marks a partisan shift as Minister Festus Keyamo said Fubara's exit from the Peoples Democratic Party signals the death of the soul of the opposition party.
  • DAILY POST reported the initial announcement on Tuesday, and the membership ceremony coincided with APC ministers flagging off the 7km Ipo Town–Airport bypass and Ikwerre Road–Igwuruta–Airport Road Corridor.
