Members of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have expressed their unwavering support for Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s leadership in Rivers State, following a recent court ruling that nullified the party’s congresses in the state.
The NWC members, led by PDP National Publicity Secretary Debo Ologunagba, visited Governor Fubara at the Government House in Port Harcourt on Wednesday evening.
The delegation held a private meeting with the Governor, where they discussed the party’s direction and future in Rivers.
National Treasurer of the PDP, Ahmed Mohammed, emphasized that Governor Fubara remains the party’s leader in Rivers, reaffirming their commitment to his leadership.
He explained that the visit was part of the PDP’s broader strategy to realign and strengthen the party ahead of the 2027 elections.
Mohammed also stressed the need for unity, stability, and effective repositioning within the state’s party structures.
The delegation also showed support for Ude Okoye, who was reinstated as the party’s National Secretary by the Court of Appeal, urging all stakeholders and governors to unite behind him for the party’s success.
This visit follows a series of discussions with PDP Youth leaders, who also met with Governor Fubara to address internal party challenges and reaffirm his leadership.
The internal dispute stemmed from the court ruling that nullified the results of the 2023 PDP congresses in Rivers, which were originally dominated by allies of former Governor Nyesom Wike.
The ruling, which followed a clash of court orders, led to the formation of an interim committee tasked with overseeing the party’s affairs in the state.
