A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bode George, says Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara remains the leader of the party in the state and needs the support of everyone in the party to succeed.
George called for reconciliation between Fubara and his
predecessor, Nyesom Wike for peace to return to the State.
Recall that there has been political tension in the state
with a series of disturbing events since both men fell out politically.
The latest is the burning of some local government
secretariats in the state on Monday when the newly elected local government
officials were to start work.
Reacting to the incident on Channels Television’s Politics
Today on Monday, George said his main interest is seeing peace reign in the
oil-rich state again.
He said that he is not going to take sides with anybody but
will only want justice, equity and fairness in the politics of Rivers State.
The PDP chieftain explained that he and other members of the
PDP Board of Trustees have made some attempts to reconcile both Wike and
Fubara.
“Justice is, who is the leader of the party in the state? It
is not the minister, it is this governor.
“So, we have to stand by him – the beauty of it is he stated
categorically that he wasn’t leaving the party and then they carried out this
election.
“I spoke with the chairman of the board of trustees and then
made an attempt with a group of BOT members to visit Fubara to listen to his
side and then after I spoke with Wike that he should give an appointment that
we are coming to see him,” he said.
