Dr. Benibo Anabraba, the Rivers SSG, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) amid renewed crisis between the state governor and the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike.
This was contained in a letter that was sent to the PDP Chairman in Ward 1 of the state’s Akuku-Toru Local Government Area on January 5, 2026.
According to the letter, Benibo Anabrab’s decision to quit the main opposition party is “personal”.
The Rivers SSG expressed appreciation for the “political leverage gained from the party during the period of my membership”.
Although the Rivers SSG did not state his next political party, it is suspected that he had joined the ruling All Progressives Congress APC.
