Days after Deinye Pepple of Labour Party declared support for the PDP Governorship flagbearer in Rivers State, Sim Fubara, the Coalition of all the Obidient support groups in the state have denied adopting SIM, reaffirming their support for the Labour Party governorship candidate, Beatrice Itubo.
Leader of the group, Ceasar Arinze during a meeting with Obidients at the party’s secretariat in Diobu, Port Harcourt, said they are not part of the endorsement of Sim, adding that the former party chairman has misinformed Rivers people and Nigerians in general.
He also said that they have no intention to move away from their goals and objectives of building a new Nigeria with their principal Mr. Peter Obi.
“It has come to our notice that the recently dissolved executive of the Labour Party in Rivers State led by its Chairman Comrade Deinye Pepple in his adoption speech of the PDP candidate, Sim Fubara, had misinformed Rivers people and Nigerians claiming that the Obidients are part of the agreement or endorsement of Mr Fubara,” he said.
“We the Obidients resident in Rivers State unequivocally state that we are not part of their merchandising. We have no intention to move away from our goals and objectives of building a new Nigeria with our principal Mr. Peter Obi,” he added.
