The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has officially registered Governor Siminalayi Fubara as a member of the party.
In a photograph shared by Tony Okocha, media aide to the state APC chairman, Governor Fubara is seen placing his thumbprint in what appears to be the party’s membership register.
The registration was conducted at the Government House in Port Harcourt on Friday.
THE BUREAU earlier reported that Governor Fubara announced his decision to join the APC on Tuesday.
He stated that his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC was made in the interest of Rivers people and as an expression of gratitude to President Bola Tinubu, whom he credited for his continued tenure as Governor of Rivers State.
The defection ends months of speculation about whether the governor would join the APC, which many believed was part of a peace agreement between him and the President.
