During a press conference at the PDP national headquarters in Abuja, the Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Ibrahim Abdullahi, refuted a statement issued by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, regarding the Rivers State crisis.
Abdullahi declared that Ologunagba was not authorized to speak on the matter on behalf of the PDP.
