Fubara May Face Disciplinary Action Over Alleged Anti-Party Activities, PDP Warns
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has indicated that Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State could face disciplinary measures due to alleged anti-party activities during the recent local government elections in the state.
The party’s interim national publicity secretary, Ibrahim Manga, stated that Fubara’s actions during the polls were inconsistent with the principles of the PDP and may prompt the party to consider sanctions.

Manga disclosed that Fubara attended the inauguration of 21 local government chairmen who were not members of the PDP, a move viewed by the party as a clear case of anti-party conduct.
The spokesperson pointed out that the event was also endorsed by the chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum, Bala Mohammed, further complicating the situation.
According to Manga, Fubara’s attendance at the ceremony and the open support given to the opposition candidates signaled a deviation from party loyalty.
“That is a clear anti-party on the part of the governor, and we will wait for him with that himself,” Manga warned. “How will you now say you are serving PDP with this action alone?”
The PDP spokesperson noted that Fubara had been given multiple opportunities to take charge of the party’s political structure in Rivers State, which he reportedly declined.
Manga claimed that Fubara had deferred important leadership decisions to former Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike, suggesting that Wike was still the authority on party matters in the state even after Fubara assumed office.
Manga described this as the origin of the current internal conflict within the party.
“He was the one who said he cannot take decisions when Nyesom Wike is still alive,” Manga said, referencing Fubara’s initial stance when the party’s National Working Committee sought to replace the state chairman. “At what point did you now stop recognising him as your boss, that you start taking all of those decisions?”
Manga warned that the party must carefully navigate issues of anti-party behavior to avoid alienating its members.
He emphasized that stringent actions could risk depleting the party’s membership if applied indiscriminately.
“Everybody has one action or the other that can constitute what is anti-party in the face of the law,” Manga concluded, suggesting that the party must tread carefully as it addresses allegations of disloyalty and works to maintain internal cohesion.
The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, alongside his running mate, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, will visit Benue State on Wednesday for a town hall meeting as part of efforts to promote their vision for a new Nigeria.

“PO IN BENUE.
“We are taking the message of a New Nigeria to the Food Basket of the Nation today,” the announcement read.
The town hall meeting is part of the party’s political engagement activities as Obi and Kwankwaso seek to build support for their joint presidential ticket ahead of the 2027 elections.
