Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has declared a purported list of the state’s Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Caretaker Committee members as fake.
He disclosed this during the opening ceremony of the Port Harcourt International Automobile Spare Parts Trading and Commercial Center project at the Oyibo Local Government Area. 

He claimed that the alleged list was the creation of desperate PR seekers and crisis managers, who ought to be aware that their wild speculation would not hold up. 

The governor clarified that during a recent meeting of the party's national leadership, it was decided that states, where PDP executives' terms had ended should keep the officers serving as caretakers for an additional three months.
Fubara clarified that the decision, awaiting ratification by the National Executive Council (NEC) of the party, did not approve the addition of new names to the already existing number of officers, or the removal of any subsisting officers.

“We had a meeting and agreed that the Executive Councils of PDP should be extended for three months. This extension is not meant to bring in new names; the extension also did not say that you are working without the authority of the governor.

“So, for those lists that you saw and those altered, I can assure you that they are not going to stand. We also agreed that there is going to be a NEC meeting on April 18 that should ratify that decision.

“So, what you are seeing is the handiwork of desperate people who like media publicity, so don’t bother about anything. Nothing is happening,” Fubara said.
