PDP Governors Turn Back On Wike Pledge Support For Fubara

Governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP have given the strongest backing to Governor Simi Fubara in his ongoing battle with FCT Minister Nyesom Wike.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors Forum has made a clear decision about the ongoing political crisis in Rivers State that has seen Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his former mentor, now FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, in conflict leading to divisions in the State House of Assembly.

People have been worried about the PDP leadership’s lack of response, but after a meeting in Enugu on Wednesday, the PDP governors announced their support for Fubara in a statement.

In the communiqué signed by the chairman of the Forum and Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, the governors said they noted the crises in the Rivers State Chapter of the party “and commits to ensuring peace.

“The Forum has resolved to stand by His Excellency, Sir Sim Fubara, Governor of Rivers State; while at the same time employ wider consultations with stakeholders for a peaceful resolution and thus find a lasting solution to the crises.”

They equally expressed regrets that “the 16 years of tremendous development under the PDP-led Federal Government, during which the country witnessed single digit inflation, the establishment of the existing anti-corruption institutions and higher standard of living for every Nigerian has been eroded during the life span of the lacklustre APC-led Federal Government.”

“The Forum identifies with the Nigerian populace in these troubling times and promises to bring back those good old days, of low inflation rate, affordable food, fuel and transportation, steady FDI inflows resulting in high naira value and the greater quality of human life as recorded.

“In that regard, the meeting commended the Governors of PDP-controlled states for their innovative approaches to governance in many fields especially infrastructure, education, health, women and youth initiatives and the timely delivery of developmental projects, across the country.

“The forum therefore calls on all Nigerians to refrain from anarchy as we all march towards the return of the PDP to power in 2027.

“The meeting thanked the Host, His Excellency, Governor Peter Mbah for hosting the first meeting of the PDP Governors in recent times outside Abuja and for holding the Party together not only in Enugu State but in the entire South Eastern Geo-political Zone; as well as extolled his virtues and achievements as evidenced with major landmark projects and interventions,” the communiqué further stated.
