A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bode George, has called for reconciliation between Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike so that peace can return to Rivers State.

There has been political tension in the state with a series of disturbing events since both men fell out politically.

The latest is the burning of some local government secretariats in the state on Monday when the newly elected local government officials were to start work.

Reacting to the incident on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday, George said his main interest is seeing peace reign in the oil-rich state again.

He said that he is not going to take sides with anybody but will only want justice, equity and fairness in the politics of Rivers State.

He, however, said that Governor Fubara is the leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state and needs the of everyone in the party to succeed.

“Justice is, who is the leader of the party in the state? It is not the minister, it is this governor,” George said.

“So, we have to stand by him – the beauty of it is he stated categorically that he wasn’t leaving the party and then they carried out this election.”

The PDP chieftain explained that he and other of the PDP Board of Trustees have made some attempts to reconcile both Wike and Fubara.

“I spoke with the chairman of the board of trustees and then made an attempt with a group of BOT to visit Fubara to listen to his side and then after I spoke with Wike that he should give an appointment that we are coming to see him.

“He told me that after he returns from China he will be ready to meet with them. Unfortunately, they have been there but I have not been, so I don’t know what the outcome is,” George said.

He asserted that the party’s BOT is responsible for weighing in when there are issues like this.

But Tinubu urchinstons, BATerians, want Wike to remain leader because he used his position as then governor of Rivers State to steal, grab, snatch, and run away with the people's vote and handed it to their drug lord for a ministerial post.

Then let Fubara act like a leader not like a sissy

Bode George is an elder statesman but he should stop being petty. Wike is a former governor, former senator, current minister, how can he be under a sitting governor?

The governor of the state is normally the leader of the party in the state

But Fubara is not acting like a leader but instead like a sissy

Leaders don't nag, they act

You recognized Bode George as an Elder Stateman in politics, yet you want to claim more politically correct and wiser than him?

If he is PDP leader of rivers state why then did he ask LG chairman to contest under APP ??

Bode George might be out of line, but he's right..

Fubara takes over as PDP leader and Wicked Wike is relegated as a PDP heavyweight in Rivers.. what I call a good Karma to what Wike did to Amaechi back then. Days of reckoning are at nigh. Wike no go fit escape that karma ever!

Fubara has proved his mettle by successfully manoeuvring the first challenge. I won't be surprised that many elders in PDP that were hitherto sympathetic to Wike, will start singing new songs.

Governor that is one way out to APP already. He's gone

Mtcheeeeew
PDP leader for paper. He is PDP leader in the 5 plots of land people not Rivers state.

Why did his PDP not partake in the LGA election.

This are the people deceiving Fubara. James ibori even while in prison was the PDP leader

Wike remains the LEADER of PDP in Rivers state

Lol... Wike was in PDP and has his leg in APC.,.

NOW Fubara is in PDP and has his leg in APP....

Na for this platform you go see say Nigerians MUMU!

You wanted to sound intelligent, but eventually your limited education came to bear.
This is a public space, sometimes just read comments and learn.

Never knew Wike was a former Senator, this is new. Ignorance.

Don't mind him,does he even care to know the position of the party constitution regarding such issue, it's the unnecessary n followership of strong men rather than strong institution that's causing lots of problems in our politics.

Shut up

In PDP the governor is the leader of his state
Even Woke knows

This man should shut up! He contributed to the downfall of PDP in Lagos state or he thinks we have forgotten? He openly ed GRV against Jandor and now he wants to cap nonsense. Now that opposition parties are almost destroyed, they should sit and reap the reward of their anti party activities in 2023

What is the essence of having a Party Chairman who by right and duties such is the Leader of the party?

Is it written in the party constitution that the incumbent governor is the leader of the party or where do we even copy all these abnormalities from?

Godfathers go dey carry their godsons to ogun, sango or amadioha shrine to go swear before dem Carry power give them....

I believe there were more qualified people wike could have handed over to as governor, but he saw fubara as someone he could control.......ino pity fubara oh... He is reaping the benefits of being sponsored by a godfather and betraying the godfather...

Logically, the governor of the state should be the leader of the leading party in the state as he is the one in charge of the state affairs
