Monday, January 5, 2026 - The Deputy Governor of Rivers State, Ngozi Odu, has formally registered as a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Odu completed her registration at her ward in Akabuka town,
Ward 8, Unit 11, Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area of the state.
Shortly after registering, the deputy governor broke into
the song “On Your Mandate We Shall Stand,” a tune closely
associated with President Bola Ahmed
Tinubu, drawing attention from party supporters present at
the venue.
Her defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) comes
weeks after Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara also joined the APC
following a meeting with President Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Fubara was subsequently registered as a member of the ruling
party by Tony Okocha, the APC chairman in Rivers State, who said the action was
carried out on the directive of the party’s national secretariat.
Meanwhile, the National Chairman of the APC, Nentawe
Yilwatda, recently declared Governor Fubara as the leader of the party in
Rivers State, amid ongoing political realignments in the oil-rich state.
