Governor Fubara Is The Leader Of PDP In Rivers State – Uche Secondus

A former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Uche Secondus has come out to say that Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State is the leader of the party in the state and should control the party’s structure 100 per cent.

He recently had his say while addressing party members, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, when he was national chairman of PDP, he gave all his governors 100 per cent control of their party structure in their states, so Governor Fubara will have 100 per cent control of the party structure as well.

Uche added that in the interest of the state, members of the party must forgive their brothers at the unit level, at the Ward level and also at the local government level, and bring everybody together.

His words, “Governor Fubara has 100 per cent of the party structure in Rivers State. One thing I know is that the governor is the leader of the party, and the governor is in control 100 per cent.

When I was the national chairman, I gave all my governors 100 per cent control of their party structure in their states. It cannot be otherwise. Governor Fubara will have 100 per cent control of the party structure.

Yes, the party in the state, because of the last election, some believe in the loyalty of the party to remain. But some others left the party to do anti-party. And we are aware of those who are involved.

I want to assure you that in the interest of our state that everybody, the governor has said so several times for the interest of the state, we must forgive our brothers at the unit level, at the Ward level and also at the local government level and bring everybody together.

So we want to plead with you, you are leaders, some of you are former local government chairmen, former party chairmen, you are leaders in your own right in your various local governments. Please work with others.

No bitterness, nothing should stop you from working with everyone in your locality. I believe that there will also be a process. A message not too long will come to you about how the meetings and other things will follow.

I also believe that there is a time when the governor will see everybody. Even if there are people who left APC, we should open our hands wide to receive them because the more we are, the merrier and the unity of Rivers State is very important. Against those who are in Abuja and I can see a scenario playing out here. In 1983, there were some powerful people in Lagos, and they wanted to hijack the state.

That scenario is likely to replay, as we can see. But because the grassroots leaders like you were solid behind Chief Melford Okilo and made it so difficult for the people from Lagos to come and hijack. It is going to happen the same way if they don’t repent.”
