Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara dismisses circulating rumours that he is planning to defect from the All Progressives Congress (APC). In statements reported by multiple outlets, he says his membership in the APC has not changed and urges people to stop relying on social media reports or personal interpretations that, he argues, misrepresent him. The reports present Fubara’s position as a direct response to ongoing “defection” talk around the 2027 political cycle.
One of the articles also links the renewed denial to the political environment in Rivers State, where attention is drawn to an ongoing APC appeal process involving a disqualified House of Assembly candidate or aspirant. According to that account, Fubara’s supporters are said to be awaiting the appeal verdict while the governor maintains that he remains loyal to the APC.
Across the sources, the key points are that Fubara publicly rejects the defection claims and reiterates continued loyalty to APC, with the broader context including current legal or party processes affecting local political candidates.
