Governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, lambasted the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, over his threat to destabilise their states for supporting the Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.

As the political battle between Wike and his predecessor and estranged political godson, Fubara, rages, the PDP governors at their recent meeting declared support for Fubara, insisting that he should take control of the Rivers PDP.

Displeased by the governors’ intervention, Wike, speaking last weekend in Port Harcourt, warned the governors to stay out of the Rivers issues, warning that he could orchestrate crisis in their states if they would not desist.

However, replying him on Tuesday in the statement by Agbo, the PDP governors’ described Wike’s threat as empty.

The attention of the Peoples Democratic Party Governors’ Forum,  under the chairmanship of H.E. Senator Bala Abdulkarim Mohamed (CON) and Governor of Bauchi State and all the member-governors has been drawn to a widely circulating news story in which the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, H.E. Barrister Nyesom Wike, former Governor of Rivers State, made scathing and threatening comments regarding member-governors of the forum and notes the significant concerns that has been raised in the public space regarding the unity and peaceful coexistence within our party.

The governors said they were “irrevocably committed” to working with the party’s National Working Committee “in ensuring that Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State is conferred with all the privileges he is entitled to as a governor elected on the platform of our party, both at the state and national levels.”
