Governors on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, have taken a definite stand on the protracted political crisis between Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor cum Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
Naija News recalls that Fubara and Wike have been at loggerheads, leading to the factionalization of the State House of Assembly and concerns over the silence of the PDP leadership.
However, the PDP Governors, in a communiqué signed by the chairman of the party’s Forum and Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, after their meeting in Enugu on Wednesday, declared their support for Fubara.
The Governors also decided to employ wider consultation with relevant stakeholders to ensure peace.
The Communique read: “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 displeasure over the current situation in the country and called on Nigerians to refrain from anarchy.
It added: “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.”
