2027: Why Rivers PDP Will Align With Wike Against Fubara – Robinson Ewoh

Nyesom Wike and Siminalayi Fubara

The factional Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State, Dr Robinson Ewoh, has explained why his group has aligned with Nyesom Wike ahead of the 2027 general elections. He recently had his say while addressing journalists in Port Harcourt, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the decision is aimed at supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election after Governor Siminalayi Fubara deceived the PDP by claiming he could wrest political control from Wike, only to abandon the party midway into his tenure.

Ewoh added that Rivers people deserve full disclosure of all agreements reached in the interest of transparency and accountability.

His words, “The mandate Governor Fubara holds was given to him by the people of Rivers State, and his actions and inactions affect everyone. It is therefore incumbent on him to fully disclose all agreements he entered into in the peace deal brokered by the President before the emergency rule was lifted.

During this period, many of us were misled by propaganda and lies into believing that the governor could wrest political control from Wike. Rather than giving us the true picture, we were deceived.

At the Ibadan Convention, the Rivers State Executive Committee of the party was dissolved. Asking us to attend a convention he knew he would not attend amounts to double standards.

These issues affect our collective interest, welfare and the peaceful governance of the state. Rivers people must be allowed to make informed decisions ahead of the 2027 general elections.”

WOW.
