    Visit Validates Our Membership – Fubara Calls For Calm Amid PDP Speculations

    Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara on Tuesday received the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), BoT members in a move to put to rest months of speculations that he had left the party.

    The delegation included the BoT Chairman, Senator Adolphus Wabara; former Chairman, Ahmed Makarfi; elder stateman, Olabode George and Senator Abdul Ningi.

    While there have been calls for Governor Fubara to leave the party for the APC, sympathisers insist that the chances of the number 1 citizen of the state winning a second term in office, remain slim if he stays put.

    The governor has however remained mute on his next line of action.

    According to the delegation, their visit to Rivers State was in search of peace and making strong old alliances.

    But, addressing the leadership and members of the PDP Board of Trustees who visited him at the government house in Port Harcourt, Governor Fubara said he doubted his membership in the party.

    However, he said the visit by the BoT has offered some conviction that he is still recognised as a member.

    “But, so far, what is important this afternoon is that we are still members of the party, and the owners of the party have visited us.

    “So, for those people outside who are carrying all sorts of rumour and propaganda, at least, this visit will put that propaganda to rest, and to tell the world that we are and we still remain members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),” he said.

    The Chairman, Senator Adolphus Wabara while speaking with the governor said the party is scared of losing Rivers State to strong opposition members as this poses a serious problem to the future of the nation.

    “We were scared Sir, when we heard or read speculations, perceptions or what have you, that the party, if we are not careful, might lose Rivers State. Of course, if we lose Rivers State, Nigeria has lost its future,” he said.

    “We don’t want what happened in 2015, and 2023 to repeat itself. These men and women you see here are very neutral. But as the conscience of the party, we must go by the rule of law. And anything you do, going by the rule of law, can never be wrong. It may be delayed, but it cannot be wrong.”

    To Wabara, the governor has demonstrated enormous care for the PDP, which is why he has been so patient with the inactivity of the party leadership amidst the crisis.

    “I don’t want to describe it. Otherwise, as a Governor, we have former Governors here, I doubt if they would have taken as much as you have. So, on behalf of this party, once again, let me thank you for your resilience, your wisdom, and for the fact that you are still in this party.

    “And to assure you that the Board of Trustees under my watch and with these serious-minded Nigerians, will deal with the matter as constitutionally allowed,” he assures.
