PDP Acting National Chairman Ibrahim Abdullahi claimed that the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) was right to drop lawsuits against 27 lawmakers who backed Wike in a significant assessment of the current political environment in Rivers State. This statement follows the controversial way in which Governor Siminalayi Fubara handled the state’s municipal elections, in which the Action Peoples Party (APP) won 21 local governments.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
During an interview with Arise TV, Abdullahi expressed his surprise at the current political developments, particularly noting Fubara’s simultaneous roles as a PDP governor and the chairman of the PDP governors’ forum. He highlighted the contradiction of a governor overseeing an election that led to substantial losses for his party, stating, “You have a governor who presided over an LG election, and he allowed APP to win in 21 local governments. And so, how do you describe that?”
Abdullahi further emphasized the confusing nature of Fubara’s actions, particularly his participation in the swearing-in ceremony of APP members in a state led by the PDP. “You have even a governor who is supposed to be the chairman of the governors’ forum also going there to superintend over the swearing-in of an opposition,” he remarked, questioning the logic behind such decisions.
Regarding the withdrawal of legal complaints against the lawmakers, Abdullahi asserted that the NWC’s choice was justified. He commented, “It was a decision that the party felt was right at the time we did that, and then it became justified.”CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
