Former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Bode George, has thrown his weight behind Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, on his decision to conduct fresh local government elections, describing it as the most logical step forward.
George stated that Governor Fubara has the constitutional authority to oversee local government elections and that conducting fresh polls would be the most peaceful resolution to the ongoing crisis.
“That is the most sensible thing to do; that is his purview. He is now struggling to reduce the pains of the people, and they (FG) should listen to him because he controls the State Electoral Commission.
