In a significant political development in Rivers State, Governor Siminalayi Fubara officially declared his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). In a video from 3:47 message shared on Symfoni TV on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, the governor explained that the move comes after careful consultations and with the full backing of the President.
According to Fubara, “Everyone who has followed and suffered with me, our decision this evening: we are moving to APC.” He stressed that the decision was not impulsive but guided by the interest of the state and the need to align fully with the President’s vision. The governor emphasized that without the President’s support, his political journey in Rivers State would not have been as successful.

The governor also acknowledged the loyalty and patience of his supporters, saying the move to APC is a collective mandate. He urged citizens to understand that this step is aimed at strengthening their influence in state and national politics, rather than pursuing personal political ambitions.
Concluding his statement, Fubara reiterated his commitment to the people of Rivers State and the APC, promising that his leadership would continue to focus on development and unity.
