APC spokesman in Rivers, Darlington Nwauju, made the call while speaking on a national television.

“If I were the governor of Rivers State, on my return, I would announce my defection to the All Progressives Congress. I think the governor should join the APC, and we would gladly receive the governor into our party,” Nwauju said.

When asked if Fubara would lead the APC in Rivers if he defected, Nwauju responded that it was automatic.

“By the convention of our party, if he joins the All Progressives Congress, he becomes the leader of the party,” he added.

Nwauju also spoke about the administration of Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas (retd.), who has overseen the state for the past six months.

“I do expect that the committee should be able to do due diligence, come up with that report, and tell Nigerians what they found out. It is one of their core mandates in the business of legislations and lawmaking,” he stated.
