Governor Fubara Joining Our Party Will Be A Win-Win Situation For Both Parties – APC

Siminalayi Fubara

The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has come out to say that it is ready to accept suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara into the party if he decides to defect from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The reinstated Rivers APC Chairman, Chief Emeka Beke, recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, a potential defection would benefit both Governor Fubara and the APC, especially because the states where the governor is not from the ruling party often face challenges with funding.

He added that Fubara’s defection would give the APC more visibility in the state’s governance, therefore, it is a win-win situation for both parties.

His words, “Sure, we will welcome the governor. Do we have an option? Welcoming the governor into the party will mean the APC gains a strategic advantage in Rivers State.

As the governor of Rivers State, he automatically becomes the leader of the party at the state level. This would also allow the APC to play a key role in state programmes and functions.

As an opposition party, we have what it takes to help the governor do better than what he is currently doing. But we have kept our suggestions as part of our ideology. If the governor joins us, we’ll open our hearts to him and offer input on how to improve the lives of Rivers people and others residing in the state.”

WOW.
