A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bode George, has said that Governor Siminalayi Fubara is the leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state and needs the support of everyone in the party to succeed.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday, George said his main interest is seeing peace reign in the oil-rich state again.
“Justice is, who is the leader of the party in the state? It is not the minister, it is this governor,” George said.
“So, we have to stand by him – the beauty of it is he stated categorically that he wasn’t leaving the party and then they carried out this election.”
The PDP chieftain explained that he and other members of the PDP Board of Trustees have made some attempts to reconcile both Wike and Fubara.
“I spoke with the chairman of the board of trustees and then made an attempt with a group of BOT members to visit Fubara to listen to his side and then after I spoke with Wike that he should give an appointment that we are coming to see him.
“He told me that after he returns from China he will be ready to meet with them. Unfortunately, they have been there but I have not been, so I don’t know what the outcome is,” George said.
He asserted that the party’s BOT is responsible for weighing in when there are issues like this.
