PORTHARCOURT — The Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says Governor Siminalayi Fubara betrayed the party. The faction claims he misled leaders and abandoned the PDP, causing political tension in the state.
Dr. Nname Ewor, factional Caretaker Chairman of Rivers PDP, spoke on Thursday. He alleged that Fubara entered agreements with President Bola Tinubu during the state of emergency in Rivers but ignored key terms of the deal.
