Rivers State Governor, Mr Siminalayi Fubara
The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reacted to the political development in Rivers State, calling on all parties to give room for a peaceful resolution.
The media reports that there was a botched attempt to impeach the governor of Rivers state, Siminalayi Fubara by lawmakers loyal to the former governor of the state and minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike. The PDP in a press statement signed by their National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba said the party has set their internal mechanism to resolve the issue in motion.
The statement reads: “The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) calls on all actors in the disagreement in Rivers State to sheathe their swords and allow for peaceful and amicable resolution of all the issues.
The NWC urges all PDP members and supporters to be calm and assures that it has commenced processes, using the Party’s internal conflict resolution mechanisms to ensure that all matters and areas of disagreement are addressed.
The NWC therefore charges all leaders, critical stakeholders, and members of our great Party in Rivers State to close ranks, unite, and focus on the onerous task of governance and delivery of dividends of democracy to the people.”
