The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory FCT, Nyesom Wike, has said that the defection of Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, from the Peoples Democratic Party PDP to the All Progressives Congress APC came too late and without any political structure to strengthen his new party ahead of the 2027 elections.
Wike stated that before Governor Fubaras decision to leave the PDP, about 22 local government chairmen in the state and nearly half of the members of the Rivers State House of Assembly had already defected to the APC.
