nope you are very wrong. Go and read the news about the factional speaker during the first term of obaseki government then. Obaseki pro lawmakers formed a quorum and dealt with Oshimole pro lawmakers well. To the extent that their salaries wasn’t paid for 3 years. You don’t understand Niger delta politics

No you are wrong. The problem was 14 members loyal to Oshiomole were never sworn in. 10 members loyal to Obaseki were sworn in.

Even if they were all sworn in, 10 or 14 out of 24 is a quorum. Both are more than 1/3rd.

Different situation from Rivers!

Like the governor has enough power to crush them ??


Let Fubara make peace with his boss
So he can focus on governance.

After swearing in he hasn't achieved anything rather than fights fights and fights.


Not supporting Godfatherism
But he who comes to Equity must come with clean hands

You want to fight Godfatherism yet it was Godfatherism that brought you into power

Tooor
It seems you don't know how Arrogant Wike is and too over-bearing.
Tinubu was able to attain his godfatherism status cause he allowed his cronies to do their wish

Wike doesn’t have any strength to frustrate fubara in power. Even Fubara has inherits 50% of Wike foot soldiers in Rivers State politics. Wike is just using his lawmakers to threatened Fubara in power and that’s where Wike will be dealt. Fubara isn’t a coward like Ambode in Lagos State. Wike will learn a bitter lesson in Rivers State politics. Stay tuned.

You people would just be at the comfort of your zones outside Rivers state and be analysing what you don't have any knowledge of.

Backward thinking yet they determine who will occupy the highest office,..... backward thinking they pushed Naija delta off the seat, backward thinking, they block Igbo and sit on the seat instead.

SOURCE



Criminal idiots that were rigged into Rivers HOA. Dis-honourables who are there to enrich themselves at the expense of Rivers people. Governor Fubara is more powerful than these fools like their fellow thief, Wike.

With Wike backing they were still unable to impeach the Governor.

Wike will continue to cry as he lost all his influence in Rivers State.

Imagine joining APC that is destroying the economy and has no clue on how to govern this country.

If the bolded is true, that means PDP is now a subsidiary of APC!! What was Atiku doing for this to happen? How then did he end up losing the 2022 primaries?
If Primary is done 10 times, Atiku will continue to win the PDP Primaries because for Atiku money can buy anything. He is also seen as liberal compared to other Northerners that vies the ticket.

He also uses the strength and numbers of delegates in the North to do as he pleases. Atiku has no loyalists because after election he is gone. If you put a secret ballot, I am sure his Gov won't even vote him. I am even surprised, he hasn't travelled yet perhaps he was advised not to.

They are all Wike's men and afraid of the backlash that's why they don't come out openly.
I don't agree with all this talk of Rivers sponsoring PDP. It's simply as a result of greed and indiscipline. PDP still controls 6 states in SS with fat allocations. They sold themselves to Wike out of greed not necessity.
I agree partly but Rivers money kept PDP post-2015.

Quorum is the difference! Without a Quorum you can’t do anything.

So as it stands Fubara’s 8 (Correction 5 members) cannot do anything, can’t declare any seats vacant, can’t pass any laws, can’t pass budgets can’t do anything.

Fubara has inherited 50% of Wike structures. You seem not to understand rivers state politics. Fubara is winning the war joor. The factional speaker will declare the 27 lawmakers that defect to APC vacant and the battle will be in the court of justice. More dragging in the court till Fubara finish his first term. Stay tuned for more episodes

They only did that when Wike was out of the way.
Before the 2023 Primary, it was Wike & Wike.
How many of those Govs sponsor the PDP outside their States. Cross River PDP is & was 100% sponsored by Rivers money since Ayade left.

Rivers money was partly also sponsoring Benue & Abia PDP.

What about the Supreme Court?
Nwifuru, Eteng, and co that defected till now, the Appeal Court did not do anything.

No Court has said Ehie is invalid.
Amaechi closed the Assembly.
Oshiomhole removed their roof and relocated them to the Govt House.
Obaseki poured sand in front of it & relocated them to the Govt House.

Fubara was absolutely slow, because I understand CP Disu from Lagos has stationed men permanently in front of the Assembly Complex. Asides that, all 27 lawmakers have stationed security guarding their houses.

It's all on Fubara, he is boxed all corners and he needs help. He will need some tutorial from those who have gone that route. He will need to use unprofessional means to get his job done. However, he wined and dined with them, agreement is agreement, I have no sympathies for him.

The NJC will reject his removing the CJ.
Defection is also political death for Fubara.

Tinubu knows Wike is in-charge of Rivers, it's not his style to betray those who stuck out their neck for him. Wike v Fubara, Tinubu will go Wike.
Pdp instituted the court case in 2022 belatedly and the appeal court ruled in less than 10 months.it means the apex court would have ruled in the next one year.
Sir,you are misinterpreting the scenarios here.under oshiomhole,the fg wasn't too keen on Edo,yaradua isn't that type plus oshio supported gej in 2011.again,oshio is a rugged man himself and the rugged shuaibu was with him so he could frustrate anenih.shuaibu taught obaseki this same tactics and some people in aso rock were pro wike obaseki.ofcourse,he had a reasonable number of lawmakers with him.
But in this case,5 lawmakers in a 32 house is meaningless.no court of course will rule against him but since he has no quorum,his faction actions are invalid.the only thing fubara can do is to apply the attrition game and delay till 2027 or totally surrender to wike and then gradually decimate wike's base

It was the high Court under Justice Taiwo & Ekwo that ruled. Till today, the Appeal Court has not said anything.

We are saying the same thing, SIM is slow and Wike gave him no breather. He knew what he was getting into and now it has crossed the Rubicon.... Impeachment or nothing for Wike.

Surrendering to Wike that he didn't do before the defection?
If you are Wike, at this point will you listen to Fubara?

What is he delaying for? Will Wike wait for him till 2027?
It is late but never. There are ways to do these things but I don't want to be seen as someone supporting the violence abeg grin
