In a significant show of solidarity and commitment to addressing both state and national issues, Taraba State Governor, Agbu Kefas, proudly announced on his official X handle that the state played host to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ Forum today at the Government House in Jalingo. This gathering, marked by its deep deliberations and firm resolutions, underscores the party’s dedication to strengthening its internal structures while responding to pressing national concerns.
The forum brought together PDP governors from across the country, focusing on crucial intra-party and governance matters that have far-reaching implications not only for their respective states but for the nation as a whole. Among the key discussions, the forum emphasized the importance of unity within the party and reiterated its stance on the fundamental rights of citizens to engage in peaceful protests as a means of expressing their legitimate grievances.
In a heartfelt gesture, the governors extended their condolences to the families of those who lost their lives during recent protests, affirming their commitment to justice. They called upon the Federal Government to ensure that those arrested in connection with these protests receive a fair and speedy trial, reflecting the principles of justice and equity that the PDP stands for.
A notable topic of discussion was the political impasse in Rivers State, where court judgments have been leveraged to influence the outcomes of party congresses. The PDP Governors’ Forum voiced its strong support for the Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, expressing concern over the anomalies in the party’s internal processes. The forum resolved to engage the National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP to revisit the congresses in Rivers State, with the goal of rectifying these issues and restoring Governor Fubara to his rightful leadership position within the party.
This meeting in Jalingo serves as a powerful reminder of the PDP’s commitment to justice, unity, and good governance. As the governors continue to work together, their collective actions are set to shape the future of the party and the nation.
