Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara on Tuesday received the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), BoT members in a move to put to rest months of speculations that he had left the party.
Senator Adolphus Wabara, the chairman of the Board of Trade, Abdul Ningi, former chairman Ahmed Makarfi, and senior statesman Olabode George were among the delegation members.
Although there have been demands for Governor Fubara to defect to the APC, supporters maintain that there is little possibility the state’s most important citizen would be reelected if he stays in office.
The governor has however remained mute on his next line of action.
According to the delegation, their visit to Rivers State was in search of peace and making strong old alliances.
But, addressing the leadership and members of the PDP Board of Trustees who visited him at the government house in Port Harcourt, Governor Fubara said he doubted his membership in the party.
He did, however, add that the BoT’s visit had given him some confidence that he is still acknowledged as a member.
The Chairman, Adolphus Wabara while speaking with the governor said the party is scared of losing Rivers State to strong opposition members as this poses a serious problem to the future of the nation.
