The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors have welcomed President Bola Tinubu’s intervention on the crisis between Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.
The governors, under the platform of the PDP Governors’ Forum, expressed concern over the crisis, adding that they have offered their platform for the resolution of the crisis.
Speaking after their meeting that lasted for more than two hours in the Oyo state governor’s lodge, the governors said that the recent judgement of the Supreme Court on the 2023 Presidential Election, which gave victory to President Tinubu, has brought to an end litigation on the presidential election.
The Governors, in their communique read by the Chairman PDP Governors’ Forum and Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, urgently requested the patriotic intervention of the Federal Government to stabilize the Naira, control inflation, stem the unemployment crises and bring more succour to Nigerians.
The communique reads: “The meeting noted the recent judgement of the Supreme Court on the 2023 Presidential Election and believes that this brings an end to the Presidential election cycle as there must be an end to litigation.
“As a Forum, we believe and re-state our faith and confidence in the judiciary to do justice in political and other cases before the Courts.
“We are concerned that while the Supreme Court has laid down precedents on pre-election issues, PDP candidates in Plateau State are being disqualified on the same grounds.
“We urge the judiciary at the apex level to ensure that our jurisprudence is not distorted. We remain vigilant in the struggle for democracy and good governance in the country.
