A member of the Rivers State House of Assembly and deputy leader of the PDP in Ogu/Bolo LGA, Evans Bipi has revealed while Sen. George Sekibo was removed as leader of the party in the area.
Bipi in a chat with journalists yesterday, said Sekibo was not removed for attending a meeting with the party’s Presidential candidate, but on grounds of sheer centeredness.
According to him, Sekibo was running the party in Ogu/Bolo as a personal fiefdom without caring about the interest of other members.
He stated that Hon Boma Iyaye, former Commissioner for Sports in the state has been appointed as Sekibo’s replacement.
“Senator Sekibo was a selfish leader. Imagine a man who craved to become the next Governor of Rivers state after His Excellency, Nyesom Wike. But that same person will not allow me, for instance, to go back to the House of Assembly or the House of Representatives. Is that not selfishness”? he asked
“Sekibo was not removed from being the leader of the caucus because of a meeting with the PDP Presidential candidate for 2023, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar or with the former national chairman of the party, Prince Uche Secondus. He was removed on grounds of sheer self-centeredness,” he said.
