WIKE Vs FUBARA: Fight moves to ward level, as PDP faction counters lawmaker’s suspension

A factional ward executive of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in Ngor Ward 1, Andoni Local Government Area of Rivers State led by its chairman, Owuokagakemi Lawrence, and the ward secretary, Stephen Jumbo, yesterday described the suspension of the member representing Andoni/Opobo federal constituency in the House of Representatives, Awaji-Inombek Abiante as unlawful.

Recall that a faction of the ward executive, led by the chairman of the caretaker committee, Dike Bara, ward secretary, Dokubo Jackson and 12 others, had earlier announced, after a meeting at the party’s office in Ngo town, that it was suspending Abiante for anti-party activities.

Abiante is one of the federal lawmakers in the Green Chamber of the National Assembly loyal to the Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
