Nigeria’s Future In Jeopardy If PDP Fails To Win Rivers, Warns Wabara

The chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Adolphus Wabara, has opined that Nigeria’s future is lost if the party loses Rivers State.

Ireporteronline reports that Wabara made this known amid the crisis rocking the Rivers chapter of the party, especially between the state Governor, Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor and Minsiter of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.

Speaking on Tuesday when the PDP BoT members visited Fubara at the Rivers State Government House in Port Harcourt, the state capital, Wabara said the members were in the oil-rich state in search of peace and unity of the PDP.

The former Senate President expressed concern that the party might lose Rivers State if they are not careful.

According to him, if that indeed happens, then the future of Nigeria will be truly lost, with no abiding hope in Nigerians anymore.

Wabara further applauded Fubara for his resilience and wisdom despite the crisis rocking the party leadership in the state.

He said, “We were scared Sir, when we heard or read speculations, perceptions or what have you, that the party, if we are not careful, might lose Rivers State. Of course, if we loose Rivers State, Nigeria has lost its future,” he said.

“We don’t want what happened in 2015, and 2023 to repeat itself. These men and women you see here are very neutral. But as the conscience of the party, we must go by the rule of law. And anything you do, going by the rule of law, can never be wrong. It may be delayed, but it cannot be wrong.

“I don’t want to describe it. Otherwise, as a Governor, we have former Governors here, I doubt if they would have taken as much as you have. So, on behalf of this party, once again, let me thank you for your resilience, your wisdom, and for the fact that you are still in this party.

“And to assure you that the Board of Trustees under my watch and with these serious minded Nigerians, will deal with the matter as constitutionally allowed.”
