PDP Governors Back Rivers State Governor Amid Political Crisis
The Peoples Democratic Governors Forum has declared its support for Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State amid the ongoing political turmoil. In a meeting at the Enugu State Government House, the governors committed to broader consultations with stakeholders to achieve a peaceful resolution. The forum attendees included governors from various states, emphasizing their unified stance behind Fubara.
Forum Chairman Bala Mohammed highlighted the group’s dedication to resolving the crisis in Rivers State, while also criticizing the economic decline under the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration. The governors lamented the erosion of progress made during the PDP’s 16 years in power, including low inflation and higher living standards. They called on Nigerians to avoid anarchy and expressed optimism about the PDP’s return to power in 2027.
The political crisis in Rivers State is attributed to a conflict between Governor Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, now the Federal Capital Territory Minister. The discord began with an attempt to replace the state House of Assembly’s leadership, resulting in an impeachment notice against Fubara. The notice was withdrawn following President Bola Tinubu’s intervention and defections from the PDP to the APC by some lawmakers.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
