The Deputy Governor of Rivers State, Prof. Ngozi Nma Odu, has formally defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), completing her party registration in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area (ONELGA).
Prof. Odu registered as a member of the ruling party at Ward 8, Unit 11, Akabuka town, marking a significant political shift in the state’s evolving power dynamics.
Her defection comes shortly after Governor Siminalayi Fubara aligned with the APC, further strengthening the party’s presence in Rivers State amid ongoing political realignments.
Speaking during a tour of the six zones of ONELGA, organised to sensitise residents and party members on the APC’s electronic registration exercise, the deputy governor called on eligible citizens to register en masse.
She urged party faithful at the grassroots to rally behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Fubara, stressing that sustained grassroots mobilisation was critical to consolidating the APC’s influence ahead of future elections.
Prof. Odu noted that the electronic registration drive was aimed at expanding the party’s membership base and deepening political participation across the state.
Her move follows recent defections by top government officials, including the Secretary to the State Government, Benibo Anabraba, as the political crisis in Rivers continues to reshape party loyalties.
