Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara has officially joined the All Progressives Congress (APC), declaring that his decision was driven by a desire to “return the favor” and ensure President Bola Tinubu’s reelection in 2027 is “easy and smooth” in Rivers State. Fubara made the statement shortly after receiving his APC membership card, marking a major political shift in one of Nigeria’s most strategically significant states.

The governor’s defection is already generating intense reactions across the political landscape, given Rivers State’s history as a stronghold of opposition influence. Fubara’s move is expected to reshape political alignments ahead of the 2027 elections, with analysts predicting that it could significantly bolster the ruling party’s chances in the South-South region.

As the news spreads, both supporters and critics are weighing in on the implications of Fubara’s pledge to deliver a seamless victory for President Tinubu. Visit www.jocomms.com for more news details and follow us on all our social media platforms.
