The party in a statement, on Tuesday, made the call through its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba.
“The NWC urges all PDP members and supporters to be calm and assures that it has commenced processes, using the Party’s internal conflict resolution mechanisms to ensure that all matters and areas of disagreement are addressed.
The NWC therefore charges all leaders, critical stakeholders and members of our great Party in Rivers State to close ranks, unite and focus on the onerous task of governance and delivery of dividends of democracy to the people,” the statement read.
The state Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, had declared that he had done nothing to warrant impeachment by the state House of Assembly, The PUNCH reports on Monday.
Fubara said this while addressing his supporters at the Assembly Complex, shortly after the House members, led by their Speaker, Martin Amaewhule, convened to begin the impeachment process against him.
“Let them come out and tell Rivers people the offence I have committed to warrant any impeachment,” the governor said while addressing his supporters at the Assembly Complex.
He added, “Let me assure the people of Rivers that I will continue to ensure that you get the dividends of democracy. At the appropriate time, I will address the press.”
The governor, who assured the people of the state of getting the dividends of democracy, said he would speak on the matter at the appropriate time.
The PUNCH had earlier reported that there were gunshots and firing of teargas within the Rivers State House of Assembly Complex on Monday as some lawmakers sat to begin an impeachment process on Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
The lawmakers also suspended the leader of the House, Edison Ehie, and some of their colleagues believed to be loyal to the governor.
The development occurred hours after a fire broke out at the Assembly Complex on Sunday night.
