Rivers State Governor, Siminialayi Fubara, has declared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has failed the state, stating that the state is now relying on a mass movement based on truth and consistency rather than party politics.
Governor Fubara made this statement while receiving a delegation from the Senate Committee on Privatisation and Commercialisation, led by Senator Orji Uzo Kalu, at Government House in Port Harcourt.
According to Fubara, the state will no longer be held back by party affiliation but will instead stand firm on its own soil to defend democracy. He noted that the party’s silence on the crisis in the state has been disappointing.
This statement comes amidst an ongoing political feud between Governor Fubara and his estranged benefactor, Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
The crisis has escalated since the collapse of the peace deal brokered by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the warring parties.
