Rivers Deputy Governor Formally Registers With APC As SSG Resigns From PDP

The Rivers State Deputy Governor, Professor Ngozi Odu, has formally registered as a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in her ward in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area (ONELGA).

Prof. Odu completed her e-registration at Akabuka, Ward 8, Unit 11, on Sunday.

Thereafter, she undertook a tour of the six zones of ONELGA to sensitise the people on the ongoing APC e-registration exercise.

She urged residents to demonstrate their support for President Bola Tinubu and Governor Siminalayi Fubara through massive registration in the party.

She said the registration exercise followed the recent declaration of Governor Siminalayi Fubara into the APC and was intended to further consolidate political support for both the President and the Governor at the grassroots.

According to the Deputy Governor, six zonal meetings had already been held to ensure effective mobilisation and smooth implementation of the registration process across the local government area.

“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,” she said.

Prof. Odu noted that the tour covered all six zones of the local government area, Egi, Omoku, Osomini, Igburu, Egbema and Ndoni, adding that the enthusiasm and turnout reflect growing acceptance of the APC in the area.

A major highlight of the tour was the defection of members of the Labour Party in Ndoni to the APC, as they expressed excitement over joining the ruling party.

The Deputy Governor described the development as a boost to the party’s strength in ONELGA and a sign of increasing grassroots alignment with the leadership of President Tinubu and Governor Fubara.

In a similar development, the Secretary to the Rivers State Government, Dr. Benibo Anabraba, has resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
