Dr. Benibo Anabraba, Secretary to the Rivers State Government, resigned from the PDP on January 5, 2026, citing personal reasons and thanking the party for opportunities provided, though he did not confirm a new party affiliation. This follows Deputy Governor Ngozi Odu’s official defection to the APC, where she registered and promoted the party’s registration drive. The moves come after Governor Siminalayi Fubara joined the APC, triggering a wave of political realignment in Rivers State ahead of upcoming elections.
