Members of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have thrown their support behind Siminalayi Fubara, the governor of Rivers State, recognizing him as the party’s leader in the state.
The NWC delegation, led by Debo Ologunagba, the PDP spokesperson, and Ahmed Mohammed, the national treasurer, met with Fubara in Port Harcourt, where they reaffirmed his position and the party’s commitment to unity.
Speaking after the meeting, Mohammed said the PDP’s strategy is to regain power in 2027.
“From Rivers to the national level, we are working together, and the governor is the leader of the PDP in Rivers State, as it is the policy of the party that every sitting governor is the leader of the party in their state,” he said.
He added, “We visited to assure him of our 100 percent support and to show Nigerians that the PDP is coming together to take over governance in May 2027.”
This declaration comes amidst reports of division within the PDP’s NWC. One faction, led by Mohammed and Ologunagba, supports Fubara, while another aligns with Umar Damagum, the acting national chairman.
