PDP Failed Us When We Needed Their Support Say Fubara
According to the information provided, Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State expressed disappointment with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), stating that the party had failed him and his supporters in the state. He made these remarks during a meeting with the Senate Committee on Privatisation, led by Senator Orji Kalu, at the government house in Port Harcourt.
Governor Fubara emphasized that he and his supporters are now focusing on defending democracy, a cause they believe in more than functioning within the party framework. He also addressed an incident where a man attempted to detonate an explosive at the Presidential Hotel in Port Harcourt, which was hosting high-profile guests, including members of the Senate committee. Fubara suggested that the incident was an attempt to justify the call for the imposition of a state of emergency in the state.
The governor questioned why the law seemed inactive or silent regarding offenders, suggesting that some individuals appeared to be above the law concerning the agitation. He noted that the issue of extending the tenure of former local government chairmen was unprecedented in the country.
Fubara clarified that he was not targeting anyone personally but was defending the State from exploiters and protecting supporters of Rivers State’s interests from those who believed they had control over others’ lives.
