Umar Sani, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Monday cautioned the party against allowing Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State to defect.
The former Senior Adviser on Media and Publicity to ex-Vice President Namadi Sambo, said PDP can’t afford to lose Fubara to another party.
His remark is coming amid the continued crisis between Fubara and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike.
Wike and Fubara have been at loggerheads over the control of political structure of Rivers State.
The rift had affected the state House of Assembly which had produced factions arising from lawmakers loyal to the duo.
Despite President Bola Tinubu’s intervention, the crisis between the duo had persisted.
However, speaking on the issue while featuring on Arise TV’s Morning Show, Sani said: “We can’t afford to lose Fubara to another party because if he feels he’s not in charge and can’t run the affairs of the party, the naturally he will look for an avenue to do.
“This will be catastrophic. I welcome the decision of the PDP Governors Forum in Jalingo and in line with their thinking, Bala Mohammed is now providing the needed leadership the party requires.”
