RIVER State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara says he dumped the Peoples Democratic Party – PDP for the ruling All Progressives Congress – APC, to complete a “spiritual assignment.’’
Governor Fubara announced that he was dumping the PDP for the APC, earlier in the week.
The governor said in Port Harcourt on Friday, that the decision was to align with President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid.
“As you have said, this is indeed a spiritual assignment because it concerns the safety, progress, and growth of Rivers State,’’ Fubara said while receiving the APC membership card from the party’s chairman, Chief Tony Okocha.
“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 added.
