Ijaw National Congress Backs Sim Fubara’s Potential Defection to APC — Prof. Okaba Benjamin Speaks Out
In a recent statement, Professor Okaba Benjamin, President of the Ijaw National Congress (INC), addressed the ongoing political speculation surrounding the suspended Governor of Rivers State, Sim Fubara.
Speaking on Thursday, Prof. Benjamin said there is “no wrong” if Fubara chooses to defect from his current party to the All Progressives Congress (APC), signaling an open mind towards political realignment.
The statement comes at a time when political tensions and shifting alliances continue to dominate Rivers State politics. Prof. Okaba Benjamin emphasized that:
-
Political defection is a common feature in Nigerian politics.
-
Decisions like these should be viewed through the prism of democratic freedom and political strategy.
-
The INC remains focused on advancing the interests of the Ijaw nation regardless of party lines.
