PDP BoT: NIGERIA'S LOST ITS FUTURE IF RIVERS CEASES TO BE PDP CONTROLLED STATE
*As Gov Fubara reinstate membership of PDP
Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara has affirmed that he remains a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He spoke to dismiss speculations in some quarters that he has left the PDP.
This is even as the Chairman of PDP Board of Trustees, Chief Adolphus Wabara said that if PDP ceases to be the dominant and ruling party in Rivers State, then the Nigeria's future is lost.
These positions were made public when Governor Fubara hosted a delegation of the Board of Trustees of PDP at Government House in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.
Governor Fubara said: "I want to thank the Chairman and members of the Board of Trustee.
"Honestly speaking, if I was having any doubt about my membership first, of this great party, I think today, I have gotten a reconfirmation that I am still, not minding the drama around, a member of this party.
"And, I want to thank you for taking all the troubles to come to Rivers State to see the Governor and the supporters of the party genuinely.
"I need to use that word, genuinely, because we that are here are members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, undiluted.
"I am also happy that, for once, the leaders, the founding fathers of PDP, we can't take it away from leaders like, Chief Bode George. We can't take it away from Amino. You are the ones who sat down, who crafted the constitution of PDP, gave it the name, and nurtured it, it doesn't matter the number of people who watered it, and it became what it is today
"I am happy that today, they are with us here and to discuss the issue of Rivers State.
"I want to assure members of our party, genuine members of PDP that are here with us, that this is another hope to show that our decision to stand by the party, still standing by the party, is not a wrong decision.
"This visit is for one purpose. What is the problem? how did it start or what led to it and how did it degenerate to what it is today?
"I would prefer that when we go to the executive session of the meeting, I would then discuss it.
"I am very conscious of the importance of information. I know that a lot of information are flying here and there. But, I know that whatever I have said anywhere, I have still maintained it.
"What I have said in Abuja is the same thing I say in Port Harcourt. If I have had any encounter with anybody in Lagos, I don't think my story have changed.
"So, I strongly believe that when we go into the executive session, I will let the board who have visited us to know or to hear my side of the story.
"But, so far, what is important this afternoon is that we are still members of the party and the owners of the party have visited us.
“So, for those people outside who are carrying all sort of rumour and propaganda, at least this visit will rest those propaganda and to tell the world that we are and we still remain members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.”
