The Concerned Rivers People, CRP, has criticized the recent statement from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Governors Forum regarding the political impasse in Rivers State.
The CRP argues that the forum’s response did not adequately address the situation in a manner conducive to justice, peace, and stability.
The group expressed discontent with the forum’s one-sided approach and its reliance on the principle of esprit de corps in addressing the ongoing crisis within the party in the state.
In a statement released on Tuesday and signed by its Director of Communications, Robinson Uke, the CRP highlighted their concerns.
“Our attention has been drawn to statement issued by Dr Emmanuel Agbo, DG of the Forum drawing a battle line and threatening our dear son, Nyesom Wike.
“It’s really unfortunate that those who should stablize the party and say truth to situations are those fueling a massive destabilisation.
“They chose to hide and support their own at the detriment of the party in the name of espirit de corps.
“By now the governors should realise the bitter truth that”They are not the only arm of the party. That notion of Governor must take all and dispense to whom he pleases is the root cause of rancour in the states.
“Reasonably you expect a Fubara to lead and supervise a Wike in Rivers State or a governor to lead Lamido in his state or a Saraki in Kwara State and dispense to them.
“You are only playing the ostrich and not seeking for peace that all Nigerians know is required now.
Uke further explained that”Justice begets peace but PDP Governors Forum has murdered peace by sercrificing justice on the alter of comradeship.
“If Fubara wants PDP he has to earn it.
“By the way did Wike set out for a fight? He sent a warning to any Governor that steps into his turf, don’t expect him to be at akimbo and watch you. He will bring the fight to your domain. Wike will walk his talk.
“The idea that Governors should seat over all structure of party in the state is the root cause of problems. They determine who gets party ticket regardless of the presence of other party leaders like Parliamentarians at all levels, even where u have a Senate President in the state.
”Ministers, former Presidents and Governors and other prominent party leaders.
“All politics is local and what obtains in Zamfara might not work in Imo.
“Advice Governors to caution any Governor who is wrong and plead for peace on his behalf not to intimidate members with the Office.
”Behold a Wike that will refuse to be intimidated.
