Fubara Discredits Rivers PDP Caretaker Committee List
Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has declared the list of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Caretaker Committee members for the state and local government areas circulating in public as fake.
The list, said to have been released by the PDP national secretariat, was seen by our reporter on Thursday.
However, speaking at the flag-off of the Auto Spare Parts Trading Commercial Centre in Iriebe, Obio-Akpor Local Government Area, on Thursday, the governor described the list as the handiwork of publicity seekers. This assertion was contained in a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Nelson Chukwudi.
Fubara explained that the national leadership of the party had recently met and agreed that in states where the tenure of PDP executives had expired, they should continue as caretakers for the next three months.

The governor clarified that the National Executive Council did not approve the addition of new names to the already existing number of officers, nor did it authorize the removal of any subsisting officer(s).
He stated, “I know that many of you saw something circulating on social media and in the dailies. Let me brief you. We held a meeting and agreed that, not just in Rivers State, but in all the affected states, the Executive Councils (of PDP) should be extended for three months.
“This extension is not meant to introduce new names. Furthermore, it does not imply that you are working without the authority of the governor. So, regarding those lists and any alterations, I can assure you that they will not stand.
“For the sake of clarity, we also agreed to convene a NEC meeting on the 18th of this month (April) to ratify that decision.
“So, what you are witnessing is the handiwork of desperate individuals seeking media publicity. Indeed, empty drums make the loudest noise. Therefore, do not concern yourselves with anything. Nothing significant is happening.”
