Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees (BoT), Senator Adolphus Wabara, on Tuesday, said Nigeria’s future is lost if the party loses Rivers State.
Wabara stated this PDP BoT members visited the state amid the crisis rocking the Rivers chapter of the party.
During the visit, they met with the state governor, Siminalayi Fubara at the Rivers State Government House in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
He said the members were in the oil-rich state in search of peace and unity of the PDP because they are scared of losing Rivers State.
Wabara, former Senate President, said if that truly happens, then the future of Nigeria will be truly lost, with no abiding hope in Nigerians anymore.
He said, “We were scared Sir, when we heard or read speculations, perceptions or what have you, that the party, if we are not careful, might lose Rivers State. Of course, if we loose Rivers State, Nigeria has lost its future.
“We don’t want what happened in 2015, and 2023 to repeat itself. These men and women you see here are very neutral. But as the conscience of the party, we must go by the rule of law. And anything you do, going by the rule of law, can never be wrong. It may be delayed, but it cannot be wrong.
“I don’t want to describe it. Otherwise, as a Governor, we have former Governors here, I doubt if they would have taken as much as you have. So, on behalf of this party, once again, let me thank you for your resilience, your wisdom, and for the fact that you are still in this party.
“And to assure you that the Board of Trustees under my watch and with these serious minded Nigerians, will deal with the matter as constitutionally allowed.”
