Recall that for months, speculation has been rife that Governor Fubara had left the PDP. To this, the governor had maintained silence on his next move, fueling further speculation.
Addressing the delegation, Governor Fubara expressed doubts about his membership in the PDP but acknowledged that the visit by the BoT had reassured him of his recognition as a party 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 of the BoT, Senator Adolphus Wabara, revealed that the party was desperate to prevent losing Rivers State to the APC, citing the strong opposition presence in the state.
