Rivers: I Was Never Really A PDP Member – Fubara Says

Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara has disclosed that he was never a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Fubara also claimed that PDP caused 90 percent of the political crisis he passed through.

He spoke while addressing journalists on Wednesday night after visiting the All Progressives Congress, APC, National Secretariat in Abuja.

“If I have to be honest, was I really a member of the PDP? I wasn’t. Whatever I suffered during the political crisis, 90 per cent of it was imposed on me by the party.

“I was in my former party, just there. During the crisis, you can’t associate me with any group. I was just, let me say, at the balcony, I wasn’t inside the house; I was outside, at the balcony,” he said.

The governor, who recently joined the APC, said his visit was to familiarize himself with the party’s structure and leadership.

“I can’t belong to a house without first coming into the house and understanding how it is arranged. I felt it would be proper for me to visit the National Secretariat today to familiarise myself with the members and the operations.

"This way, when I come here next time, it won’t feel as if I am a new person,” he added.
