Rivers Labour Party Declares Support For PDP’s Gov’ship Candidate, Fubara

Fresh information has emerged that the Rivers Stae chapter of the Labour Party (LP) and the Obidient Movement have declared support for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the state Siminalayi Fubara.

Naija News gathered that the Rivers State Chairman of the Labour Party, Dienye Pepple, disclosed this development in Port Harcourt, the state’s capital.

According to him, the decision was taken in the interest of equity, fairness and balance in the state.

The Rivers Labour Party chairman was reported to have led other leaders of the party to endorse Fubara in Port Harcourt.

He pointed out that Fubara’s Southeast Senatorial District was yet to produce a Governor in Rivers, and therefore all Labour Party members and Obidient Movement had resolved to support Fubara for the progress and development of the state.

Naija News gathered that the national chairman of the Labour Party (LP) Julius Abure has dissolved the Labour Party State Executive Council of Rivers State with immediate effect, for gross anti-party activities and corruption in the management.

In a statement iss=]\ed on Tuesday by the party spokesman, Kenneth Okonkwo, the chairman believes that it’s in the interest of the Labour Party and the Obidient movement in Rivers State that those who were at the helm of affairs in Rivers State when our presidential mandate was openly stolen in State step aside until a full investigation is completed.

The National Chairman added that he has lost confidence in the ability of the compromised State Executive Council led by Deinye Pepple to lead the campaign for the Gubernatorial and State House of Assembly elections on March 11th.
