Former Senate President and Chairman Board of Trustees (BoT), of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP,) Senator Adolphus Wabara, has commended the PDP Governors over their resolution to stand by Gov. Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State against forces behind the raging political crisis in the state.

The PDP Governors had in their recent meeting in Enugu, vowed to support Fubara against masterminds of the ongoing political hiccup in the oil-rich state.

They advised those fanning the embers of conflict and crisis to distract Fubara and destabilize his government to desist and allow him to deliver good governance to Rivers people unimpeded

“The Forum has resolved to stand by His Excellency, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, Governor of Rivers State; while at the same time employing wider consultations with stakeholders for a peaceful resolution and thus find a lasting solution to the crises”, the forum’s Chairman, Gov. Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State read in a communique.

Wabara, in an exclusive chat with newsmen commended the PDP Governors “for courageously rising as one people against the anti-democratic forces masterminding the crisis in Rivers.”

He said that the solidarity demonstrated by the Governors was quite commendable “and a confirmation of the historic fact that PDP will never abandon its own.”

Wabara added that the position of the PDP Governors’ Forum on the Rivers political crisis as well as other national issues represented the position of the BoT, the national leadership and the entire membership of the party.

“‘I sincerely commend the PDP Governors for speaking with one voice and solidariszing with one of their own. This is a strong message that PDP is united and will not waver it its resolve to defend democracy”.

The former Senate President further said “it is highly provocative, undemocratic and unacceptable for anybody to think a sitting Governor will be turned into a puppet for whatever reasons”.

Wabara who had earlier urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to ignore those calling for emergency rule in Rivers State, restated his opposition against the call.
