Nigeria: 'Fubara Deceived Us, Boasted Tinubu Would Force Wike to Support His Reelection', Says Factional Rivers PDP Chair

Ewor accused Governor Fubara of spreading false claims about presidential support to control the state assembly and urged transparency on an undocumented peace pact.

  • On Thursday in Port Harcourt, Nname Robinson Ewor alleged Governor Siminalayi Fubara misled party members with propaganda and boasted President Bola Ahmed Tinubu would force the Assembly and Minister Nyesom Wike to back his reelection, linking this to Fubara’s defection to the APC.
  • The dispute began when Governor Siminalayi Fubara clashed with the Rivers State House of Assembly, escalating to the bombing of the chambers and a state of emergency with presidential peace pacts after an eight-point deal collapsed.
  • Detailing the disputed terms, Nname Robinson Ewor said the peace pact was undocumented and urged Governor Siminalayi Fubara to disclose all agreements, including removing the Secretary to the State Government and reinstating Ohna Sergeant Awuse, before emergency rule ended Thursday.
  • To steady the party, the Tanimu Turaki-led PDP appointed Nname Robinson Ewor as caretaker chairman and legally challenged the state of emergency in the Supreme Court while Ewor aligned with Nyesom Wike amid the Ibadan PDP convention's fallout.
  • With the governor’s defection, the collapse of secret agreements shifted Fubara’s second-term contest to the All Progressives Congress, while the Peoples Democratic Party — Rivers factions demand full disclosure for Rivers people amid deep divisions.
