Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s camp has scored an early victory against FCT Minister Nyesom Wike’s faction in the struggle for control of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State.
The tussle arose from the controversial list of Caretaker Committee members in the state, which the party decided to reevaluate.
Governor Fubara’s supporters objected to the composition of the list, claiming it was dominated by key loyalists of Wike.
Governor Fubara addressed the tension, stating his determination to challenge the list at the national level to ensure a fair review. He emphasized the importance of inclusivity within the party’s leadership structures.
In a press briefing following the National Caucus meeting early Thursday, PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, disclosed the decision to review the Rivers State Caretaker Committee list.
He stated: “The issue of Rivers State Caretaker Committee List was raised at the meeting, and it was resolved that a political solution should be applied to resolve all the issues related thereto.”
