The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ Forum has condemned former Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike’s threats against PDP-controlled states, labeling them as “unbridled” and “irresponsible.” The forum expressed support for Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara and called on the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) to grant him his rightful position as the leader of the party in the state.
Wike had earlier threatened to take action against PDP-controlled states that threatened his political structure in Rivers State, stating that he would “put fire” in their states. The PDP Governors’ Forum described Wike’s comments as “unacceptable” and emphasized their commitment to a “touch one, touch all” approach, pledging to support one another both individually and collectively.
The forum maintained that their position on the affairs of the PDP in Rivers State is not subject to review by any individual and emphasized their commitment to working with the NWC to ensure that Governor Fubara is conferred with all the privileges he is entitled to as a Governor elected on the platform of the party.
The PDP Governors’ Forum reiterated their unwavering commitment to party unity, stating that their recent actions demonstrate their dedication to the principles of unity and collective advancement.
