Rivers crisis: Wike made Fubara gov, PDP should’ve met him for reconciliation – Ex-Chair, Ulasi
A former Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Anambra State, Dan Ulasi, on Tuesday, said the party’s Governors Forum should have met with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, over the crisis with Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State.
Ulasi stated that Wike made Fubara a governor; hence the PDP should have met with the minister before their colleague in a bid to resolve the crisis in the state.
He spoke in response to Wike’s threat to unsettle any governor who attempts to take the Rivers State structure from him amid his face-off with Fubara.
Wike had issued the threat during the PDP’s congress in Port Harcourt over the weekend.
However, Ulasi said: “There is a crisis in Rivers State, and it developed from the primaries. The governor of a state is supposed to be the leader of the party because Wike was when he was a governor.
“Only the NWC can say who is the leader of a state because it’s not in our party constitution. The governor only assumes the role; they fund and make the party function.
“The crisis has gone beyond the call of duty because I expected the 13 governors of the PDP to have sat down with Wike and asked him, ‘What’s your problem?’ They have done one good thing by absorbing the Rivers governor into their fold, but they are being divisive.
“They should have first sat down with the minister to understand the problem before meeting with their own colleague, because making someone a governor in this country is not something you pick up on the street. You make somebody a governor if you have the apparatus of power.”
