The Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara has revealed why he dumped the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP for the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
The governor had earlier in the week, announced his
defection from the main opposition party to APC.
Speaking at the government house in Port Harcourt on Friday
while receiving the APC membership card from the party’s chairman, Chief Tony
Okocha, the governor said his decision was to align with President Bola
Tinubu’s re-election bid.
The governor described the move as “spiritual assignment”,
stressing that joining the APC gives the state opportunity to have a good
working relationship with the president.
“As you have said, this is indeed a spiritual assignment
because it concerns the safety, progress, and growth of Rivers State.
“We cannot pursue a different direction when the President
is pursuing another.
“Joining the APC is part of our commitment to ensure a
seamless working relationship and to contribute meaningfully to his reelection
efforts in Rivers State”, he said.
Governor Fubara expressed gratitude to the party leadership
for the warm reception, noting that his decision to align with the APC was made
in the interest of the state’s stability and development.
He further pledged to strengthen the APC in the state,
assuring that the party structure, members, and executives would receive his
total support.
“This is now your home, Mr Chairman. You are welcome here
anytime. We will keep the APC active and fully functional in Rivers State, and
every need of the party will be taken care of,” Governor Fubara affirmed.
