Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has crossed the political Rubicon, leaving the Peoples Democratic Party for the ruling All Progressives Congress in a move that settles months of quiet rumblings across the state’s power corridors.
Fubara announced his defection on Tuesday evening, framing it as a gesture of gratitude for what he described as the “abundant support” Rivers has enjoyed under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
With this declaration, the long-circulating whispers of an impending shift — believed by many to be woven into the peace accord brokered by the President — finally resolve into certainty.
A chapter closes, another opens, and the river of politics flows on.
