Port Harcourt Pressure Group Condemns Impeachment Move Against Fubara, Backs Governor The Port Harcourt Township United Pressure Group has strongly condemned the Rivers State House of Assembly over its notice of impeachment against Governor Siminalayi Fubara, describing the move as a renewed attempt to plunge the state into political crisis. Speaking during a press briefing in Port Harcourt, the President of the group, Prince Tamunokuro John, said the lawmakers led by the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Martin Amaewhule, were once again placing Rivers State on a “dangerous path,” similar to events that previously resulted in a state of emergency. Prince John recalled that the earlier political crisis, which led to emergency rule between March and September last year, caused significant social, economic, political, financial, and administrative losses to the state.

WIKE-LED PDP FACTION GIVES APC NATIONAL SECRETARY 48 HOURS TO APOLOGISE

Image
The faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) loyal to Nyesom Wike has asked Ajibola Basiru, national secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), to apologise to the FCT minister within 48 hours. On Monday, Basiru asked Wike to resign his appointment and focus on what he described as an “obsession” with Rivers state politics. Wike had asked the APC national secretary to stay off Rivers politics. In a statement issued on Tuesday and signed by Etim Isong, factional zonal publicity secretary of the PDP south-south, the faction condemned Basiru’s “personal attack” on Wike.  The group said Basiru’s remarks were inappropriate and capable of undermining the administration of President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 election. The statement said it was perplexing that Basiru, who “failed to produce a governor for the APC” in Osun state in 2023, would seek to question the political relevance of Wike in Rivers state. The faction said Basiru’s suggestion that Wike’s suppor...
