No Wike, Obuah Rift, PDP Insists

The Peoples’ Democratic
Party (PDP) in Rivers State has debunked claims that there is division within the rank of the ruling party in state, even as it said Governor Nyesom Wike and the state Chairman of the party, Bro. Felix Obuah, have very cordial relationship.
Spokesman of the party in the state, Darlington Orji stated this during a chat with newsmen in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital; urging members of the opposition parties to support Wike to enable him concentrate on governance
Orji said that those who are saying there is division in the party because of who succeeds the incumbent governor are idle talkers and peddlers of misinformation; pointing out that 2023 is still far away.
According to him, “I have told those who care to know that the time of election is over. It is time for governance now. The governor of Rivers State himself has said it very clear that he was elected to solve problems and proffer solution to issues and not to complain and for us as a political party, we are giving him all the support that he needs.
“It is barely three months old and we are talking of 2023. There is no disunity in PDP Rivers State. We are aware that the only instrument we have to win election in Rivers State is to give the dividends of democracy to the people closer to the grassroots.
”These are the weapons we have otherwise in the 2019 general elections, the level of militarisation, intimidation and harassment we saw here but the people stood their ground and the party won the election,” he stated.
On the relationship between the governor and the Chairman of the party, Bro. Felix Obuah, who doubles as the Sole Administrator of the Rivers State Waste Management Agency (RIWAMA), the party’s spokesman said it is cordial.
