Rivers PDP rejects national convention, says party excluded Fubara from consultations

Members of rhe Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers have distanced themselves from the party’s national convention scheduled for November 15 and 16 in Ibadan, Oyo capital.

The position was contained in a statement signed by several state executive members and local government chairpersons of the party.

Signatories include Kingsley Waite, Tombari Sydney Gbara, Victor Pepple, Otamiri John Ngubo and Ejekwu Princewill.

The Rivers PDP leaders said the party was grappling with a leadership dispute at the national level that had polarised state chapters across the country.
