The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State has suspended its Caretaker Committee Chairman, Robinson Ewor, over allegations of aligning with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, amid the lingering political crisis in the state.

The suspension follows rising tensions within the party, as leaders accuse Ewor of actions and positions deemed inconsistent with the PDP’s stance in the ongoing political struggle in Rivers. Party insiders say his perceived closeness to Wike, a former governor of the state and a central figure in the crisis, deepened internal mistrust and triggered the disciplinary action.

Sources within the party described the move as part of efforts to protect party unity and enforce loyalty to its leadership and collective decisions. The PDP leadership in the state reportedly views the crisis as a sensitive period that requires strict adherence to party directives, warning that any form of collaboration with opposing political interests would not be tolerated.

The suspension of Ewor adds another layer to the fast-evolving political developments in Rivers State, where power struggles and shifting alliances continue to reshape the political landscape. As the situation unfolds, party stakeholders and observers are watching closely to see how the PDP navigates the crisis and restores internal cohesion.
