The Elders of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, in Rivers State, have met the Governor of the state, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, in closed doors meeting over the alleged impeachment plan of the state assembly members.
The alleged impeachment plan had led to the burning of the hallowed chambers of the assembly earlier on Monday also ultimately disrupting the relative peace in the state.
The persons at the meeting include Elder Ferdinand Alabaraba, Leader of PDP Elders Forum, Chief Sergeant Awuse, the Chairman of Rivers State Council of Traditional Rulers, OCJ Okocha, Senior Advocate of Nigeria, and Bro Felix Obuah, the Campaign Director of PDP/Fubara for the 2023 election.
The meeting was held at the residence of the governor in Government House, Port Harcourt.
Although, the purpose of the meeting was not disclosed, but a source said the elders were in Government House to intervene in the ensuing crisis in the state.
Political analysts have suggested the alleged impeachment of the Governor is a direct result of a perceived fight between Fubara and former Governor of the state Nyesom Wike
