Fubara visits APC Secretariat…..claimed he was never a member of PDP

Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State has disclosed that he was at no time a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP); claiming PDP caused 90 percent of the political crisis he passed through.

He spoke while addressing journalists on Wednesday night after visiting the All Progressives Congress, (APC), National Secretariat in Abuja.

“If I have to be honest, was I really a member of the PDP? I wasn’t. Whatever I suffered during the political crisis, 90 per cent of it was imposed on me by the party.

“I was in my former party, just there. During the crisis, you can’t associate me with any group. I was just, let me say, at the balcony, I wasn’t inside the house; I was outside, at the balcony,” he said.

Fubara, who recently joined the APC, said his visit was to familiarize himself with the party’s structure and leadership.

“I can’t belong to a house without first coming into the house and understanding how it is arranged. I felt it would be proper for me to visit the National Secretariat today to familiarise myself with the members and the operations. This way, when I come here next time, it won’t feel as if I am a new person,” he added.

Fubara visit signals a clear political shift, when he said his visit was to formally assure the party of his commitment and readiness to work for its growth, linking the APC’s fortunes directly to the success of President Tinubu.

“I am here this evening to assure you that I have come in, and we will work together to ensure that this party becomes greater than it is.

“The greatness we all desire from this party is the success of Mr. President. We cannot grow or expand if Mr. President is not succeeding,” he said
