By Matthew Atungwu
The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on the Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, and his immediate predecessor, Nyesom Wike, to sheathe their swords.
The call which was contained in a statement issued on Tuesday by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, followed a move by the Rivers State Assembly to impeach the governor.
Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT Abuja has been accused of plotting to unseat the governor through impeachment, causing chaos in the state.

“The NWC, therefore, charges all leaders, critical stakeholders, and members of our great Party in Rivers State to close ranks, unite and focus on the onerous task of governance and delivery of dividends of democracy to the people”, the statement added.
