A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Umar Sani, has advised that the party should never think of anything Nyesom Wike over Gov. Fubara amid crisis in Rivers State.
Umar Sani, ex Senior Advisor on Media and Publicity to former vice president Namadi Sambo insisted that Fubara is more important to the party than Senator Wike.
The caution is to address the crisis that erupted between Senator Wike and Governor Fubara some months ago, which has significantly affected the state House of Assembly, leading to factions loyal to both of them having their separate leaders.
Umar Sani, while featuring on Arise TV on Monday morning said: “We can’t afford to lose Fubara to another party because if he feels he’s not in charge and can’t run the affairs of the party, the naturally he will look for an avenue to do.
“This will be catastrophic. I welcome the decision of the PDP Governors Forum in Jalingo and in line with their thinking, Bala Mohammed is now providing the needed leadership the party requires.”
