Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has taken his political realignment to a new level as he composed a song for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu after dumping the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

In a short video trending online, Fubara led supporters in a tune that said: “If you dey support Tinubu, no follow corner-corner. We support Tinubu, we no dey follow corner-corner.”


On Tuesday, December 10, 2025, Fubara defected from the PDP to the APC.

Fubara announced his defection on Tuesday during a stakeholders’ meeting at the government house in Port Harcourt, the state capital.

Fubara said he joined the ruling APC as a “gesture of reciprocity” for the consistent support, cooperation, and encouragement his administration has received from President Bola Tinubu since the political crisis that rocked the state in late 2023.

“We can’t support Mr President if we don’t fully identify with him; not backyard support,” the governor said.

“So, we have taken that decision today since we have gotten a pass. Everyone here, who followed and suffered with me, our decision today [is that]we are moving to APC.”

Fubara’s defection comes less than a week after 15 members of the Rivers state house of assembly, including Martin Awaewhule, the speaker, joined the APC.

Two days before the defection, the 32-member Rivers assembly passed a vote of confidence in President Bola Tinubu, urging him to seek re-election.

With the defection, the PDP now has six governors, with Agbu Kefas of Taraba and Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau planning to join the APC.

When it comes to politics and politicking, give it to Jagaban.
Other politicians would just be wondering, how does he do it?

Nigeria is definitely a comedy channel strictly meant for God's amusement. You can't create a whole serious world without a part of it dedicated to your amusement.
