Rivers State PDP in Crisis as Nyesom Wike's Influence Turns Party Against Governor

opera.com 2024/10/5

In a news report by Vanguard, Political commentator Franklin Ntekim has expressed his concerns over the apparent lack of support for Governor Fubara within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State. Ntekim suggests that the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has gained significant influence over the party and turned it against the governor. He advises Fubara to leave the PDP due to this toxic environment.

Ntekim is disappointed in former Vice President and 2023 Presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar for not visiting Fubara during his ongoing challenges. He believes this perceived inaction indicates that the party prioritizes the interests of a single individual over the well-being of its members, revealing a lack of unity and support within the party.

Ntekim's comments highlight the deep-seated divisions within the PDP in Rivers State. He notes that it is clear Fubara does not enjoy the support of the party and that Wike has successfully turned the party against him. Ntekim's advice to Fubara to leave the PDP is a significant indicator of the party's toxic environment.

The commentator's criticism of Atiku Abubakar's inaction is also noteworthy. He finds it difficult to believe that the former Vice President and Presidential candidate has not visited Fubara during his challenges, suggesting that the party is more concerned with serving the interests of a single individual rather than its members.

Ntekim's statements have sparked debate about the state of the PDP in Rivers State and the party's ability to support its members. His comments highlight the need for the party to address its internal divisions and work towards building a more inclusive and supportive environment for its members.
