The last may not have come from the 12 governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on their stand over the six months suspension clamped on their colleague in Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara.

The PDP Governors have announced plans to challenge his suspension in Court.

Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, disclosed this in his weekly bulletin.

Makinde stated that the PDP Governors are determined to protect democracy and will not allow the suspension, which they consider illegal, to stand.

He emphasized that despite any political differences, protecting democratic rights and principles is crucial.

President Bola Tinubu had on Tuesday declared a state of emergency in Rivers State and suspended Governor Fubara, his deputy, and members of the State House of Assembly.

This move followed ongoing political tensions between Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.

Recently, the PDP governors, in a meeting chaired by Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, strongly condemned the suspension and called for its immediate reversal. They argued that the decision was a “mistake” and an attack on the democratic system.

In his weekly bulletin, Makinde revealed that the PDP governors would take legal action against the suspension in a court of competent jurisdiction.

He called on the public to stand firm for justice and fairness, ensuring that democracy is not undermined.

The PDP currently governs 12 states in Nigeria, and the governors are unified in their commitment to challenging this action in court.
