Rivers 2023: Will Gov. Wike, an advocate of democracy who fights against consensus at national impose candidate in Rivers State?

Stephen Wobo writes from Port Harcourt.

There's a serious remonstrance in Rivers PDP on Monday when the unofficial news that Gov Nyesom Wike has anointed Sim Fubara as the PDP gubernatorial candidate to succeed him as the next governor of Rivers State.

The news shocked over 75% of Rivers State PDP stakeholders as the state PDP went sober.

Gov Nyesom Wike who is also among the presidential aspirants under the platform of PDP is known to be a proactive advocate of democracy and doesn't support consensus candidate at the national.
Gov Wike is known to fight against imposition of candidate(s) or 'forced consensus' at people both at state and the national level.

So, will the person who advocates against the imposition of candidate now be the one to champion imposition of candidate in his state?

In December 2021, Gov Nyesom Wike vowed never to impose any candidate on Rivers people.
So, is Gov Wike, an advocate of democracy now going against his words?

Maybe no! Maybe he's trying to test the royalty of the aspirants to the party as some believe.
But is it the best way to test the royalty, absolutely no! So it can't be a test.

PDP people from Kalabari are still in shock and in dismay over the unofficial news;
saying how can such meeting that deny their sons gubernatorial ticket be held at their elder's house, Hon. Ferdinand Alabraba house and he didn't counter it, asking if the elder statesman is against the Kalabari progress of being the Governor of Rivers State?

People from the Riverine community in Rivers State have been clamouring for Riverine governor (Tammy Danagogo and Dax Goerge Kelly) but find it difficult to accept the candidature of Sim Fubara whom Gov. Wike anointed with this unofficial statement going viral:
"I will be giving the PDP Gubernatorial ticket to Sim Fubara, if you are not comfortable, challenge me".

Every action has its reaction, if Gov Wike has taken such decision to annoint unpopular candidate, definitely other aspirants and the people will react to it.

It was gathered that all the aspirants walked out of the meeting without a word.
Will the other 16 gubernatorial aspirants defect to other parties or stay to work with Sim Fubara?
That will be a talk of another day.

Sim Fubara is one of the 17 Rivers state aspirants screened by the PDP Screening Committee.
He is from Opobo/Nkoro LGA in Rivers State.

I doubt you know where Sim Fubara is from.

OkwuEziokwu:


Apparently, Ijaws claim Anambra too.

Gut, stop dividing our region. We should be fighting a common enemy, then when Biafra emerges, at least our tribes will have a say.
Now, does Fulani's Abuja care about Ijaw.

Smh.. idk what has made our people so blind.

Ijaw will never be part of Biafra.

It does not make sense leaving Nigeria and joining a Mini Nigeria.

OkwuEziokwu nothing concern we Ijaws with Anambra State.

Biafra is for Igbos and some other tribes who wish to join Biafra.

Ijaws have no business with Biafra.

Are you the political kingmaker in Rivers State, when it get to the turn of Ijaw to produce Governor, it will surely be. Nothing can stop a course whose time has come.

Like Biafra

What do you mean by Biafra, &who is talking about Biafra here. My learned broda, You can do better than this.
I need intelligent responses from you why Ijaw shouldn't govern Rivers State.
State your reasons in simple terms. Don't try so hard to be a tribal bigot, it doesn't fit you at all.

There's no ijaw in River state,
I say it again, there's no ijaw in River state, amechi has finish fooling the ijaws, at the end wike became governor,
Wike will still fool them, at the end Felix obua take over,
Okirika, kalabari, should have been consider but as you ijaw have impose ijaw tag on them the chances of them becoming governor in River state is not guaranteed,
you are all babies when it comes to Rivers politics of today,

sentiment aside,
we know tribe who determines governor of river state,
this tribe is tribe who you ijaw declar as your worst enemy,
their votes are the reason uplands will rule you foverever,
Wike may fool you,
but at back they speak a central language which you ijaw does not understand,
they use this central language when campaigning in obigbo, Etchee, obiakpo, phaga, omoku, opobo, all the market places,
The will tell this people how ijaws treated them during old Rivers state.

How did ijaw rule Rivers when they had the opportunity?

Ukiwe and Azikiwe were able to convince Abacha on bayelsa.. The home of Ijo.

Everything is not tribal .. is local politics

What makes Sim Fubara unpopular? Sim is even from Opobo which happens to be a riverine area ... You guys can't even attack his pedigree or capacity to Govern the Statecos you know the guy very qualified... Just because he is not one of the known politicians in the state that's why you guys are against him...

You're very stupid

Wike endorsed Fubara an Ijaw man

Why are IPOB doing all the kicking and screaming, Wailing and howling on this thread, and saying that Ijaw will never rule Rivers State

Did Ijaws tell you who to make your own SE Governors ?

Mind your own business

It is River's State Business

If everything is not tribal why bringing Biafra in our discussion

For the records,

King Alfred Diete-Spiff at a very young age, i think he was the youngest MiliGovernor to ever govern a state he did very well during and after the Nigerian civil war at that young age &I bet you, you wouldn't have done any better than him if you were given the opportunity to govern a state @that age

Senator Melford Obiene Okilo tried his best too during the second republic.

Rufus Ada George an okrika man still of Ijaw, also tried his best with Peter Odili as his Deputy, though the tenure was very short. You will not really expect them to create impacts as compare to today were we have a least 4year tenure &bogus Federal Allocation available.

The first two governors were from Ijaw in present day Bayelsa State.

I don't know your age now, but I will suggest you meet elders to tell you more about these past Governors, don't just dwell on hearsays& be joining bandwagons hating on ijaws &kalabari people to the extent that you don't want them to govern Rivers state at all. Things have changed, grow up &leave stoneage reasoning &see thing differently.
I so much believe in justice, fairness &equity to all tribes to have a share in power.

We've had Egbema/Ndoni Governor (1999-2007)
Ikwerres have ruled for 16years unbroken.(2007-2023)
It's time for Ijaws, Kalabari, Ogoni, to come forward & produce a Governor at least for equity sake, they have been supporting others since 1999. That's my opinion, no tribal bigotry attached.
