PDP Says
Political Crises Soon End.
Sydney Gbara, State Publicity Secretary of the People’s
Democratic Party in Rivers, said the political crises in the state will soon
end.
Gbara told newsmen in Port Harcourt on Saturday that the
majority of Rivers people no longer enjoyed the drama making rounds in the
state’s political space.
He said that every reasonable Rivers citizen currently
yearned for peace and also wanted Governor Siminialaye Fubara to be allowed to
work and demonstrate his capabilities in the administration of the state.
The party image maker commended the governor for
demonstrating self-comportment by not allowing room for distractions amid
heightened political disagreements.
He also described as timely, recent resignation and
declaration of support by a councillor representing the ward of the former
governor and Minister of the FCT Nyesom Wike.
According to him, more such declarations for the governor
is envisaged in the coming days, not just from councillors but across political
strata including members of the State House of Assembly.
On the conduct of local government elections, Gbara said
that the governor was the leader of the party in the state.
He noted that whenever the governor deemed it necessary, the party would readily make available its machinery for the election.
He, however, said the governor was making plans for local
government elections, adding that the party on its part would remain neutral
regarding the governor’s decisions in that regard.
Attributing ongoing political crises in the state to
personal interest, Gbara urged the people especially the youth, to rally around
the governor whom he said had demonstrated patriotism and inclusivity in his
policies.
