The action of these elders are a proof that Rivers state PDP seem to lack elders with independent minds and capacity to resolve a simple political issue because, rather than engaging the both parties and insisting for a peace deal, they are accusing Governor Fubara of bringing the State into disrepute and contempt, and that might be an invitation to hit up the polity.
In a statement issued to Truth Live News in Katsina, Muhammed emphasized that there’s no marriage on this earth with out misunderstanding time to time talk less of political marriage. But warn crisis merchants that, this misunderstanding should not be exploited for political profiteering.”

Fubara, the good people of Rivers state and the people’s Democratic party (PDP) for the embarrassment caused or face disciplinary actions.
