Political realignments seem to be emerging in Rivers State in anticipation of the 2027 general elections, shortly after the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, announced that political activities in the state would commence in January 2026.
The factional Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Rivers State, Nname Robinson Ewor, has accused Governor Siminalayi Fubara of misleading party members into thinking that he had the political capability to take control of the state’s political structure from the FCT Minister.
Ewor claimed that Governor Fubara deserted the PDP during the peak of the party’s internal crisis, leaving members vulnerable amid the political chaos.
Daily Post recalls that Ewor was appointed as the factional chairman of the PDP in January 2025 following the removal of the party’s former chairman, Aaron Chukwuemeka, by a Rivers State High Court.
Subsequently, the party designated him as interim chairman to stabilize its operations.
After the controversial Ibadan Congress in November 2025, the Tanimu Turaki-led PDP further appointed Ewor as Chairman of the Caretaker Committee in Rivers State in December 2025.
However, in a surprising turn of events, Ewor, who had previously allied with the PDP faction opposing Minister Wike, has now switched his allegiance and is reportedly collaborating with the FCT Minister.
Further details will be provided soon…
