PDP not using ‘Wike loyalists’ to attack Fubara-led govt – CRP

The Concerned Rivers People (CRP), a coalition comprising individuals indigenous to Rivers State, has categorically refuted allegations made by Ikenga Ugochinyere.

Ugochinyere had claimed that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was currently facing internal turmoil, which would supposedly render it vulnerable to Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s removal from office.

Specifically, Ugochinyere accused Umar Damagum, the acting National Chairman of the PDP, and Senator Samuel Anyanwu, the party’s National Secretary, of conspiring to undermine Fubara’s position.

Ugochinyere elaborated on a series of events, which he characterized as a deliberate attempt by Damagum and Anyanwu to compromise the PDP’s internal stability and jeopardize its legal standing in a high-profile court case. This case, according to Ugochinyere, could potentially enable pro-Wike lawmakers who defected from the PDP to regain legal ground and attempt to oust the PDP government from office.

However, Robinson Uke, the Communication Director of the Concerned Rivers People, issued a statement on Saturday vehemently denying these allegations.

Uke dismissed Ugochinyere’s claims as entirely unfounded and urged the public to disregard them.

Uke criticized Ugochinyere for “concocting baseless allegations” in an attempt to gain relevance in the political sphere, where he allegedly lacks credibility.

Uke further questioned Ugochinyere’s motives, suggesting that his actions were driven by personal gain and a desire to serve his paymasters.

According to Vanguard, the Concerned Rivers People urged the public to approach Ugochinyere’s opinions with skepticism, citing his apparent bias and lack of credibility.

Additionally, Uke advised Ugochinyere to allow the courts to determine ongoing matters without prejudice and to consider formally joining the legal proceedings as an interested party to justify his involvement.
