The Deputy Governor of Rivers State, Professor Ngozi Odu, has officially defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC)
Her move comes more than a month after Governor Siminalayi Fubara and most Rivers State lawmakers, at both state and federal levels, left the PDP for the APC.
Odu completed her registration on Sunday at Akabuka, Ward 8, Unit 11 in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area, before touring the six zones of the LGA to raise awareness about the ongoing APC e-registration exercise. This was confirmed in a statement released in Port Harcourt on Monday by Owupele Benebo, Head of Press, Office of the Deputy Governor.
Speaking to stakeholders after her registration, Odu said the e-registration drive follows Governor Fubara’s recent defection to the APC. She urged residents to register massively with the party in support of President Bola Tinubu and Governor Fubara.
“The move is to further strengthen the support base of President Bola Tinubu and Governor Siminalayi Fubara,” Odu said, noting that six zonal meetings had already been held to facilitate the exercise.
She added, “Today, I came to sensitise the people, and everywhere we went, there were large crowds who came out to receive us. They said wherever I go, they will go with me; and wherever Governor Fubara and President Tinubu go, they will go. You can see the joy and happiness. I have touched all the six zones — Egi, Omoku, Osomini, Igburu, Egbema and Ndoni.”
Odu described her defection as a boost to the APC’s strength in the LGA and a sign of growing grassroots support for President Tinubu and Governor Fubara.
