Suspension of Fubara Well – Oiled Plot by APC to Take Over Rivers State – PDP

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has condemned the suspension of Governor Siminilayi Fubara of Rivers state by president Bola Ahmed Tinubu calling it a plot by the All Progressive Congress (APC) to take over Rivers state.

This was contained in a statement signed by Hon. Debo Ologunagba, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP in response to the issue.

The statement read in part “The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and indeed, Nigerians listened with dismay the national broadcast by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in which the President, in utter violation of the 1999 Constitution pronounced an imposition of a state of emergency in Rivers State

“The PDP outrightly rejects this attempt by the President to override the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended) and undermine the votes and Will of the people of Rivers State by seeking to depose a democratic government and foist an undemocratic rule in the State.

“The unconstitutional declaration by President Tinubu of the suspension of the democratically elected Governor of Rivers State, Governor Siminalayi Fubara @SimFubaraKSC and appointment of an unelected individual, Vice Admiral Ibokette Ibas (rtd) to govern the State is a clear attack on our nation’s democracy, an abrogation of the votes and democratic right of the people of Rivers State to choose their leader under the Constitution.

“The action of Mr. President therefore clearly borders on attempt at state capture. It is the climax of a well-oiled plot to forcefully take over Rivers State for which the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been bent on stoking crisis to ensure that democracy is ultimately truncated in the State.” The statement continued.

Alleged Plans to Foist One-Party State

The PDP in its statement also adduced that the decision is part of a “larger vicious plot to foist a siege mentality across Nigeria, decimate opposition, impose a totalitarian one-Party State and turn the country into a fiefdom”.
