Bauchi State Governor and Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors Forum, Bala Mohammed, has reiterated that Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, must be recognized as the leader of the PDP in his state.

Speaking after a meeting with the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) delegation, Mohammed highlighted that the decision follows PDP’s long-standing practice where state governors are leaders of the party in their respective states.

He described the meeting, which was led by PDP National Legal Adviser Kamaldeen Ajibade SAN, as productive, aiming to strengthen collaboration between the Governors Forum and the NWC, while resolving ongoing issues within the party.

In a video obtained by News360 Nigeria , he said, “Along that line, we discussed extensively the need for collaboration between the PDP Governors Forum and the NWC so that some of the issues can be resolved, including the litigations that cannot be resolved, will be resolved on the table,” he added.

“It is along this line that we collectively agreed for the rule of law, and the delegation gave their firm commitment and for the position of the PDP Governors Forum in Rivers State.”

“In Rivers State, where we don’t have the established practice in which any governor from the party is the leader of the party and will therefore have the party structure for sustainability.”

He added, “On behalf of the Governors Forum, we are very grateful to the NWC, ably led by the National Legal Adviser. We also discussed some legal issues that are lingering, and we used the opportunity to speak on behalf of the Governors Forum to ask the delegation to convey our appreciation to the Acting National Chairman of the PDP.”

“We insist that, please, those committees they have set up on reconciliation and disciplinary issues should work in a manner that will do it through consensus and agreement so that we will not at least create anything that can bring imbroglio,” the governor added.

He also stated, “We are behind the North-Central Zone of the party to be allowed to produce the National Chairman of the party. Precedents have been set in the past when Ahmed Mu’azu succeeded Bamanga Tukur and Ali Modu Sheriff came after him.”

“In fairness, the North Central should be allowed to complete its tenure. That is justice, that is fairness, and that is what the PDP stands for,” he stressed.

“Going forward, I assured them that the PDP Governors Forum will be meeting with them from time to time to discuss issues of unity and development of the party. We also want to interface with structures like the Former Governors Forum, Former Ministers Forum, and others.

“By the time the PDP emerges from the present situation, we will be ready, Insha Allah, to take over the leadership of the country in 2027. We will then build on the massive development of 16 years obstructed by the wasteful years of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).”

Still waiting to see how emperor Wike will put fire into those PDP states.

A man falls the moment he thinks he’s the aggregate of everything.

Wike has suddenly become the darling of TVC.

my thoughts exactly. I like wike performance as governor and now minister but hate his arrogance. Let them suspect the guy. He thinks he's untouchable

Wike thinks he can threaten everyone

I have read and read again. Bala never said what the head line said. Perhaps the video said so. PDP won't come out from this the same.

Rivers and political higihaga!

Na wa!

I hate the way politics is done in Nigeria

APC has seriously damaged Nigeria

I pray and hope it can be fixed

You talk too much like a parrot and the most annoying of it all you and your gang are not even member of our party taken panadol for another person headache why can't you just stay in your Leprosy Party called LP with your liar Emperor Obingo, is that too hard for you?

Keep jumping here and there doing shu shu dey dive nose to everything like pig nose creating hatred everywhere. Face your front biko.

He never said anything like Wike is replaced. He doesn't have that authority. And the NWC can't be led by a legal adviser. Where is the NWC acting chairman or Secretary? Why were they not part of the meeting. And besides, there is no official position called 'party Leader' in the constitution. Leadership is all about how highly the local population hold you in high esteem. This is a battle PDP cannot win against Wike. The only way the can win is by suspending him. There is no way Wike will be in PDP and Fubara, his boy will be party leader. The more scared they are in having Wike suspended the more difficult it will be to handle him.

The PDP Governor's Forum should stand against any potential threat to the status quo. Mr. Wike not above the law or any person.

This never ending power tussle

It is high time that frog voice idi@t from Obiakpor is demystified and exposed

It's well

Court order, wicked Wike can't be suspended or expelled

Oya na
Let's see if Bala Mohammed will have the balls to do what Atiku couldn't do

In conclusion No peace for the wicked

Fubara is a strong man also if not........

Woke that should have been banished from PDP is being massaged

Wike will never allow that , PDP is gone what will have now is APDP formed by Wike

PDP needs to find a way to bring Obi back to the party.

ojaoffor:
Alh. Bala Mohammed, please we want Obi or Jonathan in 2027.

Jonathan would be foolish to want to rule this badly damaged nation again

If I am sim I will just go to his ward & suspend him from pdp

Its very obvious you know nothing about politics and how it is being run. Bala Mohammed statement holds no water. Damagun remains the chairman, and Bala Mohamed and the governor's forum cannot remove him and appoint somebody to preside over elected officials. Rivers State congress has been ratified by the NWC and Wike has it all. Fubara has no followers only internally displaced politicians. He is busy wasting and sharing Rivers State money to people who have no political value to offer him. Fubara is a very ungrateful human being and anybody that s him is an evil person. To all those ing Fubara, may the person you help and fight people to make sombeody turn around and connive with the people you fought to elevate him against you. May all the people you help show you this kind of ungratefulness.

I thought APC will be 12 years old after Asiwaju 4 years tenure ? But with the write up, it's obviously Tinubu will use 8 yrs. as President of Nigeria
