Fubara/Wike Saga: Governor Debunks The Rivers PDP Caretaker Committee List And Declares It Would Not Stand

Governor Sim Fabura and Nyesom Wike

FEW days after he said that his implementation of the presidential peace accord they struck should not be perceived as weakness, Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has again pointed the finger at the camp of his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.

Speaking on Thursday, April 4, in Port Harcourt, Fubara claimed that the alleged list of PDP Caretaker Committee members for the State that was making the rounds on social media was bogus.

The governor also promised to continue creating unrest in Nyesom Wike's camp, his estranged benefactor.

As Fubara put it, “I know that a lot of you saw something flying in the social media, dailies. Let me brief you, we had a meeting, and we agreed that, not just in Rivers State, but in all the States affected, that the Executive Councils (of PDP) should be extended for three months.

“This extension is not meant to bring in new names. The extension also did not say that you are working without the authority of the Governor. So, for those lists that you saw and those ones altered, I can assure you that they are not going to stand.

“For record purposes, so that you will understand, we also agreed that there is going to be a NEC meeting on the 18th of this month (April) that should ratify the decision.

“So, what you are seeing is the handiwork of desperate people who like media publicity. In fact, empty drums make the loudest noise. So, don't bother about anything. Nothing is happening.

“You can see how restless they have been since I made just one statement, yesterday. We will continue to make them restless. They won't know where we are coming from. We will also continue to hit them hard the way we hit them, yesterday. So, those of you who were worried when you saw those lists that were flying, go and rest, nothing is happening.”
