PDP governors promise to find solution to Rivers crisis

Governors elected on the platform of the People Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednesday promised support to their Rivers State counterpart, Siminalayi Fubara, on the crisis in the state.

The governors gave the assurance in a communiqué issued at the end of their meeting in Enugu and read by the Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum, Bala Mohammed.

The governors resolved to find a solution to the feud between Fubara and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.

Fubara and Wike fell out in September last year with members of the state House of Assembly and political appointees split between the pair.

The peace deal brokered by President Bola Tinubu in December last year has failed to achieve the desired results with the warring parties spoiling for a showdown over alleged breach of the agreement reached at the meeting in Abuja.

The communiqué read: “We will employ wider consultations with stakeholders for a peaceful resolution and thus find a lasting solution to the crises.”

The governors also admitted that Nigerians were facing challenges and promised to bring back those good old days of low inflation rates and affordable food.

They, therefore, urged Nigerians to refrain from anarchy as the country marches towards the 2027 elections.
