PDP Governors Show Strong Support for Governor Fubara Amid Dispute with Wike
Governors from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have expressed their strong support for Governor Siminalayi Fubara amidst his ongoing political conflict with his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, who is currently serving as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
This political crisis has resulted in a split within the Rivers House of Assembly, with factions aligning either with Wike or Fubara.
Following a meeting held in Enugu on July 17, the PDP Governors’ Forum issued a communiqué declaring their solidarity with Governor Fubara.
“The Forum acknowledges the crises within the Rivers State Chapter of the party and is dedicated to ensuring peace.
The Forum has decided to stand by His Excellency, Sir Sim Fubara, Governor of Rivers State,” the communiqué stated.
The governors emphasized the importance of “wider consultations” with relevant stakeholders to achieve a lasting solution to the political turmoil in Rivers State.
They committed to working towards peace and stability in the region, underscoring their unified support for Fubara in navigating the current challenges.
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.”
