There are strong indication that some PDP Members are now contesting Local Govt election under the platforms of the Action Peoples Party, APP .
This may be connected to the fallout between the Minister of the federal capital territory Nyesom Wike and the incumbent governor of the state Sir Siminialayi Fubara over the control of the party structure in the state who are both members of the same party PDP, up to this moment residents of the state are yet to understand the marriage partnership between the state PDP and APP
A well known Governor Fubara supporter and the Director of Mobilization Non-indigenes SIMplified Movement Rivers State, High Chief UCHENNA OKOKOBA in crypt message on WhatsApp platform urge those who genuinely believe in the leadership abilities of the governor to cue behind the decision of the collective inner caucus
The message reads thus: “Name Of APP Local Government Area Chairmanship Candidates
