Port -Harcourt, Rivers state – The Spokesperson of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Youth Group, Dare Glintstone Akinniyi, said it is normal for Governor Sim Fubara to be the leader of the PDP in Rivers state.
TimesNow.com.ng recalls that the Rivers state high court sacked the PDP chairman in Rivers state, Hon. Chukwuemeka Aaron, on Monday, January 13.
In his judgment, Justice Stephen Jumbo, the court’s presiding judge, nullified the ward, local, and state government congresses of the PDP.
Akinniyi said peace will return to PDP in Rivers state following the judgment of the state high court, which implies that Governor Fubara will take over the leadership of the party in Rivers from the FCT Nyesom Wike.
Akinniyi said the PDP is in full support of Fubara as the party cannot afford to lose the governor and the state.
He stated this during an exclusive chat with TimesNow.com.ng on Saturday, January 18, 2025.
The PDP chieftain said the party lost the local government elections in Rivers due to the battle of supremacy between Fubara and the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike.
He insisted that Governor Fubara should and must be in charge of Rivers State PDP.
Meanwhile, TimesNow.com.ng reported that Governor Fubara’s faction and Wike’s faction are set for a major showdown in Port Harcourt in Rivers state.
Governor Fubara’s faction has moved to take over the PDP’s secretariat along Aba Road, Port Harcourt.
The Wike’s camp has warned that any attempt by the Fubara’s faction to take the party is tantamount to crisis.
