Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has intimated that his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, is planning to abandon the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in favor of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
According to sources, the governor dropped a clue on Sunday during a thanksgiving reception for Wike at his own property on Ada-George Road in his hometown, Rumueprikom, in the state’s Obio-Akpor Local Government Area.
President Bola Tinubu was represented at Wike’s reception by Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

Acting PDP Chairman Umar Damagum; former Governors Peter Odili (Rivers), Abdullahi Ganduje (Kano), Ayo Fayose (Ekiti), and James Ibori (Delta), as well as all G5 members, attended the event.
Speaking at the thanksgiving, Fubara urged Wike not to stay away from him even if he crosses over to the other side of the political divide.
He said: “While we are seeing sign that it’s like you want to go over to the other side with everybody wishing that, please don’t be too far from me because I know that the sharks, the tigers are really around looking for what to hurt.

“So, being around would continue to guide and put my head straight for the purpose of this state.”
According to media sources, the former Rivers State governor is considering leaving the PDP for the current APC.
During the 2023 general elections, Wike and four other governors refused to support his party’s presidential nominee, Atiku Abubakar, instead backing the APC’s candidate, Bola Tinubu.
