Governors on the platform of the People Democratic Party (PDP), have pledged to support Gov. Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers in the crisis between him and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.
The Chairman of the PDP Governors Forum, Gov. Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, made the pledge in a communique the forum issued at the end of the forum’s meeting at the Government House, Enugu on Wednesday.
According to him, the forum is aware of the ongoing crisis in Rivers and is committed to supporting Gov. Fubara, saying they had resolved that the issue should be settled through political solutions.
He said that all the leaders and organs of the party were committed to go together and resolve the issue with minimal division and rancour.
“We will employ wider consultations with stakeholders for a peaceful resolution and thus find a lasting solution to the crises,” he assured.
The chairman stressed that congresses leading to the election of party leaders, at the various tiers, must be all-inclusive, transparent, fair and in strict compliance with the constitution of the party.
Mohammed also commended the governors of PDP-controlled states for their innovative approaches to governance in many fields, especially infrastructure, education, health, women and youth initiatives and the timely delivery of developmental projects, across the country.
While recounting how successful the country was under PDP’s 16 years of administration, Mohammed reiterated the party’s commitment to restoring the nation’s past glory. (NAN)
