Rivers PDP rallies support for Jonathan, Tukur The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers on Friday urged the people of the state to continue to support President Goodluck Jonathan and its national Chairman, Alhaji Bamangar Tukur. The party’s Secretary in Rivers, Mr. Walter Ibinbia, told journalists in Port Harcourt that Jonathan and Tukur had given the party good leadership. Ibinbia described as illegal and a breach of the PDP constitution the attempt to open a parallel secretariat of the party in the state. ‘’Factional PDP is an illegality and such must not be accepted. ” We call on the security agencies to rise in defence of the law. ‘’It is also a slight on the person and office of President Goodluck Jonathan who is the constitutional leader of the PDP,’’ the News Agency of Nigeria quoted Ibinbia as saying to journalists. According to him, the action is provocative, untimely and designed to cause disaffection among members of the party. ” PDP, as a law-abiding party, could not fold its hands and watch events derail from the path of decorum,’’ he said.
