In a surprising turn of events, leaders and supporters of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Obio-Akpor Local Government Area, the home base of former Governor Nyesom Wike, have thrown their weight behind Governor Sim Fubara’s decision to investigate the activities of the previous administration.
According to sources, the PDP stakeholders in Obio-Akpor LGA held an emergency meeting on Tuesday, where they unanimously agreed to support Governor Fubara’s probe into the financial dealings and projects executed during Wike’s tenure as Governor.
The leaders, who spoke on condition of anonymity, expressed their confidence in Governor Fubara’s leadership and his commitment to transparency and accountability. They praised the Governor’s courage in tackling the sensitive issue, which they believe will help to restore public trust and promote good governance in the state.
This development is seen as a significant blow to Wike’s camp, as it indicates a growing divide within the PDP in Rivers State. The former Governor’s loyalists have been vocal in their opposition to the probe, which they describe as a “witch-hunt” and a “political vendetta”.
Governor Fubara’s administration has maintained that the probe is aimed at promoting transparency and accountability, and ensuring that public funds are used for the benefit of all Rivers people.
The political drama unfolding in Rivers State has sparked intense debate and speculation among political observers, who are watching with keen interest to see how the situation will play out.
