It was gathered in Abuja, on Monday that the main item on the agenda is the ongoing political crisis in Rivers State.
A member of the PDPGF who pleaded anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press said the emergency session “is not unconnected with the crisis playing out in Rivers State, in which the State Governor, Mr. Similaye Fubara, and his predecessor, Barrister Nyeson Wike, are at loggerheads.”
