The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Board of Trustees, BoT, Adolphus Wabara, has cautioned President Bola Tinubu against allowing greedy and power-drunk anti-democratic forces to hijack Rivers State.
Wabara warned that the party won’t allow the declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State amid the rift between Governor Sim Fubara and his predecessor, Nyseom Wike.
Expressing worry over the political crisis in Rivers State, Wabara said: “There is nothing happening in the state that warrants the call for state of emergency as being demanded by these fake apostles of peace.”
In a statement he signed, the PDP BoT Chairman warned that any attempt to tamper with Fubara would spell doom for Nigeria.
“I have keenly watched the political developments in Rivers State, and want to place it on record that PDP and the law abiding citizens of this country will not tolerate any attempt to derail democracy in the state.
“We won’t allow anti-democratic forces and insatiable elements hijack power through the back door in their desperation to hang on to power and hold the state to the jugular.
“Any attempt to scuttle the democratically elected PDP-led Government in Rivers is a recipe to a political unrest capable of consuming the entire country.
“I, therefore, call on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, not to allow greedy and self overrated power drunks to push him into taking steps that could portray him as a despot, and ultimately plunge the country into avoidable upheaval.”
