PDP tells Fubara to Remain in PDP to Rebuild Rivers After His Return To Office
Governor Siminalayi Fubara has returned to office in Rivers State after President Bola Tinubu lifted the six-month state of emergency that pushed him, his deputy, and the State House of Assembly out of power. The move, announced on September 17, 2025, marked the end of a tense period in the oil-rich state, where political clashes and governance breakdowns had led to federal intervention.
With his reinstatement, the Lagos chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has sent a clear message to Fubara: stay loyal to the party and focus on rebuilding Rivers. The chapter urged him not to abandon the PDP, calling on him to show courage, restore confidence in leadership, and make sure the people feel the impact of good governance after months of uncertainty.
The Rivers crisis had deepened earlier this year with sharp disagreements between Fubara and the state legislature, as well as disputes over budgets and widespread disruptions to governance. Violence and damage to vital oil facilities made matters worse, prompting the federal government to step in with emergency rule. A retired navy chief, Ibok Ekwe Ibas, was temporarily put in charge until order was restored.
Now that the emergency is over, expectations are high. The Lagos PDP believes this is Fubara’s chance to set Rivers on a new path, mend divisions, and prove his commitment to both his people and his party.
Anambra State Commissioner for Information and Value Reorientation, Law Mefor, speaks on Peter Obi and shares that he made wonderful achievements as a governor and roots for him for the presidency.
“The intention of the Anambra State government is not to indict Peter Obi. Peter Obi did well as governor.
“There is no rift between Governor Soludo and Peter Obi. They are both in politics, and they have their interests to defend.”
Peter Obi makes headlines as he received huge recognition and a welcome in Delta State.
A crowd came out to support the politician and show their support for him ahead of the election next year.
They moved with the message, “Peter Obi will reset Nigeria, Peter Obi for president.” Many shared their beliefs that Peter Obi can truly help Nigeria. This has gained some attention, and people shared their thoughts.
Former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mazi Afam Osigwe, speaks on the election and a popular notion that is happening. He shared how some politicians depend on the courts to win their elections instead of the voters (the people).
“A judge once presented a paper called ‘The Judicialisation of the Electoral Process.’ He argued that because of the difficulty of proving non-compliance with the Electoral Act, the courts have gradually and increasingly usurped the role of the voters. I couldn’t agree more.”
“They believe that between polling units and collation centres—especially at night—miracles happen before daybreak. So why vote?” he asked.
