The factional Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Rivers State, Nname Robinson Ewor, has accused Governor Siminalayi Fubara of misleading party members into believing that he possessed the political capacity to wrest control of the state’s political structure from the FCT Minister.
Ewor, in a press briefing on 1st January 2026, alleged that Governor Fubara abandoned the PDP at the height of the party’s internal crisis, leaving members exposed amid the political turmoil.
This comes just days after the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, declared that political activities in the state would commence in January 2026.
Recall that Ewor emerged as factional chairman of the PDP in January 2025 following the removal of the party’s former chairman, Aaron Chukwuemeka, by a Rivers State High Court.
Subsequently, the party appointed him as interim chairman to stabilise its affairs.
Following the controversial Ibadan Congress in November 2025, the Tanimu Turaki-led PDP further appointed Ewor as Chairman of the Caretaker Committee in Rivers State in December 2025.
However, in a dramatic twist, Ewor, who had previously aligned with the PDP faction opposed to Minister Wike, has now shifted allegiance and is reportedly working in alignment with the FCT Minister.
Ewo also asked Governor Fubara to come out clean and tell Rivers people the agreement he made with the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike.
