Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara, has dismissed reports claiming that he has defected from the All Progressives Congress, APC, to the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC.
Speaking with journalists on Wednesday, the governor clarified that he remains a member of the APC and insisted that there has been no change in his political affiliation.
Fubara urged members of the public to ignore rumours circulating on social media suggesting that he had abandoned the ruling party.
According to him, several narratives being pushed online are based on misinterpretations and false assumptions about his political position.
“I know that there has been a lot of drama in the media from one story to the other. People should stop using whatever situation that they pick up from social media or their own interpretation of any situation to present me wrongly.
“I have not gone anywhere. I’m still a member of the Congress, and I remained a member.
“Whatever happens, what is most important is supporting the overwhelming interest of the party,” the governor said.
I'm a member of the APC, and nothing has changed. Whatever happens, what is important is supporting the overall interest of the party.
