Rivers SSG defects to APC

Anabraba

From Tony John, Port Harcourt

The Secretary to Rivers State Government (SSG), Benibo Anabraba, has officially registered as a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), dumping his party, People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

‎Anabraba registered his membership on Monday, January 5, at Ward 1, Unit 1, Bob-Manuel’s Compound, Abonnema, Akuku Toru Local Government Area (LGA) of the State.

The SSG said the registration formally confirms his identity as a party member and enables him to fully participate in all APC activities, and most importantly to support his principal, Governor Siminalayi Fubara in his ‘Rivers First’ mantra and the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

Anabraba noted that Rivers State and the Federal Government synergy is bound to produce greater benefits for the good of the people.

‎Earlier in a letter titled ‘Resignation from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP),’ Anabraba indicated that the decision to leave the PDP is personal.

He further appreciated the political leverage gained from the party during the period of his membership, and wished the party well in the future.

 

Ends.
