Secretary to the Rivers State Government, Dr. Benibo Anabraba, has resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
This was contained in a letter dated January 5, 2026, and addressed to the PDP Chairman, Ward 1, Akuku-Toru Local Government Area of the state.
According to the letter, Benibo Anabrab’s decision to quit the main opposition party is “personal”.
He appreciated the “political leverage gained from the party during the period of my membership”.
Although Anabrab failed to state his next political party, it was gathered that he had joined the ruling All Progressives Congress APC.
DAILY POST reports that there has been a mass defection from PDP to the ruling party since the state governor, Siminalayi Fubara left the opposition party.
The state is currently facing another shot of political crisis as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike and his estranged political son Governor Fubara resumed their face-off.
While Fubara apparently joined the ruling party in a bid to return to the government house in 2027, Wike vowed to terminate the dream.
