The chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum has asserted that Rivers State is a PDP state even though the recently sworn in local government chairpersons and members belong to different political parties.
he said: “Of course, he is still with us. He is still a PDP man and I, on behalf of the governor, express solidarity with the very active democratic instincts that he has cultivated. This is a new manifestation in the Nigerian political arena, where he has to step up and develop a strategy that allows for governance regardless of party loyalty or party considerations. I didn’t.
“For certain reasons, he did not have a party structure in the state, so he had to go out to ensure that other political parties were allowed to participate so that there was no vacuum in the political space. .
“And I think this is a very auspicious thing, I think it’s a very creative thing to do, and I’m very proud of him. And I said, ‘Yes, we lost as a party. That’s why I want to get away from this.”
“Once again, he established himself as a governor and became the pride of all governors in Nigeria.”
