Fubara hints at leaving PDP, says party failed Rivers State


He said the State has now jettisoned party politics for mass movement anchored on truth and consistency.

Rivers State governor, Siminialayi Fubara, has voiced his displeasure at the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, seeming indifference and lukewarm approach to the crisis in the state.
He said the State has now jettisoned party politics for mass movement rooted in truth and consistency.
Fubara spoke while receiving a delegation from the Senate Committee on Privatisation and Commercialisation, led by Senator Orji Uzo Kalu, on Thursday.
The governor was said to have expressed his disappointment at the party’s silence on the crisis between him and the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.
He said the state would from now on, stand on its own soil and defend its democracy.

Fubara said: “In our state today we are no longer doing party. We are doing a movement, so you don’t blame me if I don’t go to the side of the party too much.
“The party has failed us here, so what we are doing here is to stand with our two legs on the soil of Rivers State, so that we can defend democracy.”
