A factional chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State, Dr. Nname Ewor, has dissolved his faction into the Aaron Chukwemeka-led committee supported by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
Ewor, former loyalist of Governor Siminalayi Fubara, announced the dissolution during Wike’s “thank you” visit to Ogba-Egbema-Ndoni (ONELGA) Local Government Area (LGA) on Friday.
He said: “Today, I am handing over the chairmanship and leadership of my faction to Aaron Chukwemeka-led caretaker committee. PDP is no longer factionalised in Rivers.”
Ewor explained he left the Fubara camp because the governor could not be trusted.
He alleged that President Bola Tinubu mediated twice to resolve the political crisis in the state, but Fubara failed to keep agreements.
“If the President mediated twice, that means you cannot be trusted. Can such a leader be trusted? We can’t trust him,” Ewor added and refuted claims that Wike intimidated his leadership.

Earlier, ONELGA Local Government Chairman, Mr. Chukwu Ogbogu, thanked Wike for development interventions and personal support during his tenure as governor.
He noted that many locals benefitted from state and federal appointments during the period.
Wike, in his remarks, lauded the ONELGA people for their unity and strength and described the LGA as a “no-go area” for Fubara supporters.
“We are not talking about party politics in Rivers but Renewed Hope Family for Tinubu. We will do all we can to give him the needed support,” he stated.
