Rivers: Wike holds the aces as PDP NWC insists ' Caretaker Committee list as published, stands'

Immediate past Rivers State Governor and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike,  appears to have consolidate his hold on the PDP structure in Rivers state, following the insistence of the party's National Working Committee, NWC, that the Caretaker Committee list recently published for the state, stands, despite the call for withdrawal of the list by Rivers State Governor, Simi Fubara.                                  

The PDP NWC in a statement released few minutes ago, hinged the decision on " the existence of an Ex - Parte Order issued by the Federal High Court, Abuja."                                            

The statement which was  e - signed by the National Publicity Secretary of PDP, Hon. Debo Ologunagba and posted on the party's X handle, noted : "The National Working Committee (NWC) at its emergency meeting today, Tuesday, April 23, 2024 reviewed the issue of the Caretaker Committee of River State. 

"After an extensive deliberation the NWC noted the existence of an Ex-Parte Order issued by the Federal High Court, Abuja restraining the NWC from further action with respect to the status of the Rivers State Caretaker Committee List as published. @OfficialPDPNig 
 
"However, while the Rivers State Caretaker Committee List as published stands in compliance with the Order of the Court, the NWC notes the concerted intervention and efforts of various Organs of the Party, particularly the PDP Governors’ Forum to finding a political solution to the issue of the River State Caretaker Committee.

"The NWC therefore resolved to, in conjunction with the PDP Governors’ Forum, intensify action in the continuing consultation to resolving the issues of the Rivers State PDP Chapter amicably."
