He stated this Fubara when the PDP Youth Wing led by its chairman, Jamilu Kalsingi visited him at the Government House, Port Harcourt, on Saturday night, January 18, 2025.

“It is the right thing, and if we have to get it done, those things that need to be put in place properly, we as a party must first of all do those things. But unfortunately, we found ourselves in a precarious situation where we are putting the cart before the horse rather than the horse before the cart.”Fubara said he believes the PDP leaders will look into the issues affecting the growth and unity of our party now that the youths have taken the issue seriously.

“So it is a problem. But when the youths have decided to take this very serious issue into their own hands, I believe that the elders of the party at this point will understand that it is important for us to look into the issues affecting the growth and unity of our party”.Fubara said that his government was doing everything possible to keep the true soul of the party alive.

The governor, however, said there were others in the state, who claimed to be in the party whereas they belonged to APDP.

“We have some sets here, who might claim that they are PDP or what do you call them, APDP. But ours, we remain PDP, we are doing everything to make sure that we still stand.”Read more stories on Rivers PDP:Rivers 2027: 4 Reasons Fubara May Win Second Term Bid Rivers 2027: 3 Reasons Fubara May Lose Second Term Bid Top Political Analyst Speaks As Court Sacks Pro-Wike Rivers PDP Chairman: “Supreme Court Showdown” Fubara’s faction moves to takeover Rivers PDP from Wike Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that Fubara’s faction and Federal Capital Territory (FCT) minister, Nyesm Wike’s faction are set for a major showdown in Port Harcourt in Rivers state.
