Amidst the ongoing political turmoil in Rivers State, the People's Democratic Party (PDP) has issued a resounding call for a calm and peaceful resolution.
On Tuesday, October 31, 2023, the PDP's National Working Committee (NWC) released a statement emphasizing the need for dialogue and peaceful solutions in addressing the current political dispute. The NWC urged all parties involved in the disagreement to pursue a peaceful resolution and encouraged PDP members and supporters to remain composed.
The party assured the public that it had initiated internal conflict resolution processes to address and resolve all areas of contention.
The recent escalation of tension between Nyesome Wike and Siminalayi Fubara came to the forefront when an attempt to impeach Governor Fubara failed, raising concerns about the political stability of the state.
However, in a surprising turn of events, Governor Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, were seen shaking hands at the Presidential Villa in Abuja. They, along with several other state governors, including Yahaya Bello (Kogi), Dapo Abiodun (Ogun), Ahmadu Fintiri (Adamawa), Bala Mohammed (Bauchi), Abdullahi Abba (Kano), and Bassey Ottu (Cross River), attended a closed-door meeting of the Police Council, chaired by President Bola Tinubu.
The meeting also included notable figures such as the chairman of the Police Service Commission (PSC) and the Inspector-General of Police (IGP).
