“The election of Governor Bala and his Rivers State counterpart, Governor Fubara as chairman and deputy of the PDP Governors’ Forum is a good development that happened to the party in recent time.

“They are passionate and committed members of the party and founded on their experience, they will provide a purposeful leadership to the forum and renew hope for the party,” she opined.

The PDP governors elected Mohammed as chairman of its Governors’ Forum, while Fubara emerged as deputy chairman last Saturday.
