The Digest:

The factional caretaker chairman of the People’s Democratic Party in Rivers State, Dr. Nname Ewor, has publicly accused Governor Siminalayi Fubara of deceiving party members before defecting to the All Progressives Congress.

Key Points:
  • Ewor stated that Fubara led PDP members to believe he would wrest political control from FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, only to defect.
  • He claimed the governor has been boasting that President Tinubu would force the state assembly to pass his budget and compel Wike to support his re-election.
  • The chairman demanded Fubara publicly reveal all terms of the undisclosed peace pact made with Wike and the assembly.
  • He alleged the governor agreed not to seek a second term, reinstate a traditional ruler, and replace key aides, terms he has since ignored.
  • Ewor criticized Fubara for not attending the PDP national convention in Ibadan after urging others to go.
  • He confirmed that the PDP’s national working committee dissolved the state executive and installed his caretaker committee.
  • The chairman declared his support for President Tinubu’s re-election in 2027 and aligned himself with Wike’s political course.
The accusations reveal deep fractures and betrayal within the party, portraying the governor’s defection as a calculated abandonment that has left allies stranded in a political storm of his making.
