Rivers State PDP Caretaker Committee List Is Fake – Governor Fubara

Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara has come out to say that the list of the Peoples Democratic Party Caretaker Committee members for the state and local government areas circulating in public is fake.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the national leadership of the party had met recently and agreed that in states where the tenure of PDP executives had expired, they should continue as caretakers for the next three months.

He added that the National Executive Council did not approve that new names should be added to the already existing number of officers, or any subsisting officer(s) removed.

His words, “I know that a lot of you saw something flying in the social media, dailies. Let me brief you. We held a meeting and we agreed that, not just in Rivers State, but in all the states affected, that the Executive Councils (of PDP) should be extended for three months.

This extension is not meant to bring in new names. The extension also did not say that you are working without the authority of the governor. So, for those lists that you saw and those ones altered, I can assure you that they are not going to stand.

For record purposes, so that you will understand, we also agreed that there is going to be a NEC meeting on the 18th of this month (April) that should ratify that decision.

So, what you are seeing is the handiwork of desperate people who like media publicity. In fact, empty drums make loudest noise. So, don’t bother about anything. Nothing is happening.”

WOW.
