Sim, A Governor In Power Without Power by Naijafrontpage: 7:17am On Feb 04
Sim is definitely a governor in power but without powers

He is stripped of the full powers a Nigerian governor enjoys

But come to think of it, it's either Sim is a dullard or a poor student of history who does not understand the political history of his Oga

If he doesn't know let me tell him a little story, since 1999, no governor in Rivers state has succeeded in producing a successor except Wike.

Wike has built a strong political cult around himself and has succeeded in suppressing all known political voices in Rivers state either through heavy dose of kindness or brute political force including that of his former boss and close ally Amechi who is known to be very loquacious


He single-handedly and carefully handpicked all the people he wanted in power including Sim.

Fubara must have been very naive or have taken his advice to fight Wike this early from a madman

Fayose warned him openly not to fight if he is not prepared to go the full hog.

You can't successfully fight a war without arsenals

The 90% of Rivers legislators both at the national and state level are members of Wikes political cult where he serves as the Capon.

And mutiny is an unforgivable sin in politics

Wike also enjoys the support of the judiciary in Rivers State because he was intentional about their welfare and placement when he was governor.

That means he has the keys to the entire armoury and the question is how did Sim embark on mutiny without access to requisite arsenals?

Amaewhule and his group of 27 lawmakers loyal to Wike have made laws stripping the governor of any influence in LG administration and funds and have gone ahead to veto the governor, which leaves the Sim without network

Today those who openly supported him are facing the heat and smelling the rods, while Wikes supporters are having fun. the court has ordered the arrest of his CoS and other hatchet men that he used to avert his impeachment by destroying the House of Assembly.

Fubara, underestimated his boss, he must be full of regrets now for acting without thinking, even as a governor Sim is without a network, lonely, cold, and powerless.

Put Sim in your prayers he needs it, but again that's the consequence of ingratitude even heaven hates ungrateful people.

Maybe he signed off the power when he was being handpicked and others were suppressed for his emergence.

He should either have not started the fight at all or ensure no back off once ignited.
He holds the shorter end of the stick now.

That's why Peter Obi is an enigma.

PDP tried this stunt with him when he entered through APGA and he used them to mop the floor for 8 years straight cheesy

In he end he retired all the godfathers and left the state on the path to sustainability and growth.
