PDP Crisis: There Was No Need For Wabara To Visit Fubara, He Is The Victim – Ugochinyere
The spokesman of the Conference of United Political Parties (CUPP) and a House of Representatives member from Imo state, Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere has said that the visit of the chairman of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Adolphus Wabara and his members to Rivers State was not done in a panic mode.
He explained that the visit to the Rivers state Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, was meant to settle the festering crisis rocking the major opposition political party in the country.
Speaking in an interview with newsmen on Friday, Ugochinyere, however, stated that there was no need to visit Fubara, insisting that he (Fubara) is the victim of the crisis.
He said, “There was no need to visit Fubara. Fubara is the victim of the crisis. He is at the receiving end of the crisis. He has been undermined by the party even the acting national chairman and the national working committee. He shouldn’t have been the first person to be visited by the BoT”.
Ugochinere, who is also the leader of G-60 opposition coalition parties in the House of Representatives, said that as the conscience of the PDP and in line with the constitution of the party, the Wabara-led BoT has the mandate to force the PDP acting National Chairman, Aliyu Damagum, out of office for several reasons.
He said that Damagun’s decision to write a letter to the Court of Appeal in Port Harcourt was aimed at enhancing the impeachment of Governor Fubara, adding that section 42 of the PDP constitution is very clear on who should initiate legal matters in the party.
“The Port Harcourt visit by the BoT is welcomed but it came too late. The political crisis in Rivers state has been on for a long time now. BoT should do the needful by throwing Damagun out of the party to save the PDP from imminent collapse”, he added.
