Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara on Tuesday received the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), BoT members in a move to put to rest months of speculations that he had left the party.
The delegation included the BoT Chairman, Senator Adolphus Wabara; former Chairman, Ahmed Makarfi; elder stateman, Olabode George and Senator Abdul Ningi.
The governor was rumoured to be the strength behind the sudden popularity of the Action Peoples Party (APP) whose secretariat was struck by an explosive a week ago.
According to the delegation, their visit to Rivers State was in search of peace and making strong old alliances.
But, addressing the leadership and members of the PDP Board of Trustees who visited him at the government house in Port Harcourt, Governor Fubara said he doubted his membership in the party.
However, he said the visit by the BoT has offered some conviction that he is still recognised as a member.
“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 sorts of rumour and propaganda, at least, this visit will put that propaganda to rest, and to tell the world that we are and we still remain members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)”, he said.
The Chairman, Senator Adolphus Wabara while speaking with the governor said the party is scared of losing Rivers State to strong opposition members.
