Governor Siminalayi Fubara has formally joined the All Progressives Congress (APC), completing his registration as a member of the party on Friday at the Government House in Port Harcourt.
Photographs shared by Tony Okocha, media aide to the state APC chairman, showed Fubara thumbprinting the party register during the formal procedure.
Governor Fubara had previously announced his decision to defect from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) earlier this week, stating that the move was in the best interest of the people of Rivers State.
He also described it as a gesture of appreciation to President Bola Tinubu, whom he credited for enabling him to continue serving as Governor.
