During a recent meeting in Enugu, the PDP Governors resolved to stand firmly behind Governor Fubara against the disruptive forces fueling the crisis in the oil-rich state. They urged those inciting conflict to cease their activities and allow Governor Fubara to deliver effective governance to the people of Rivers State without hindrance.

“The Forum has pledged its full support to His Excellency, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, Governor of Rivers State, while also engaging in broader consultations with stakeholders to seek a peaceful resolution and a lasting solution to the crises,” stated the forum’s Chairman, Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, in a released communique.

In an exclusive interview with Vanguard, Wabara praised the PDP Governors for their unified stance, describing it as a bold demonstration against anti-democratic forces destabilizing Rivers.

“This solidarity shown by the Governors is commendable and underscores PDP’s unwavering commitment to its members,” Wabara remarked, affirming that the position taken by the PDP Governors’ Forum reflects the sentiments of the party’s BoT, national leadership, and entire membership.

“I applaud the PDP Governors for their united front and solidarity with one of their own. This sends a strong message that PDP is united and steadfast in defending democracy,” he added.

Senator Wabara also criticized calls for emergency rule in Rivers State, urging President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to disregard such proposals and avoid supporting efforts to seize power through unconventional means in the state.

He warned that mishandling the political crisis in Rivers could escalate into national turmoil, emphasizing the need for careful management to prevent further discord across the country.

Expressing optimism about PDP’s prospects in the 2027 elections, Wabara predicted a resurgence for the party, citing disillusionment with APC’s governance and economic policies.

He praised Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State for hosting the PDP Governors and party elders, highlighting the cultural unity showcased during the meeting through the Enugu ‘surugede’ dance.

“In Enugu, our Governors and party elders from across Nigeria celebrated our cultural diversity, demonstrating that culture can unite us as a nation,” Wabara noted, lamenting Nigeria’s current division under APC rule but expressing confidence that PDP would restore national unity if entrusted with leadership once again.
