Why una no show us pictures of the prominent leaders or the kinsmen? This Man is being celebrated in some quarters in Rivers state while in some quarters he's being dreaded and hated

Racoon: This is the democracy they claim to be practicing. Imagine INEC will legalise this illegality and the useless NPF will behaved like nothing happened.
recall process is part of our constitution. It is not illegal
press9jatv: Fubara tried in infrastructures no be small. Not to talk of roads and bridges
Which road and bridges.. Fubara has not yet unveiled any project on his own as all the projects he commissioned are Wike's projects which he started..even the ring road that's under construction is Wike's brain child. This house of assembly complex has taken over 15 months after splashing over 19 billion into the building it's still at block and earth works levels showing slowed speed. And be reminded that it was Fubara's supporters that bombed the complex and he used caterpillars to bulldoze it down the next day out of fear of impeachment
[quote author=fergie001 post=134637194][/quote]Fubara refused to repeat what he said during the commissioning of the judges quarter in Rivers state. He said and i quote "i don't want to resort to violet but when the time comes I will tell you what to do and I will lead the course" Those words teleguided and incited the bombings of oil pipelines the next morning
Akpabiio has shown more experience than Dickson...Dickson rushed to the TV station before coming to the senate floor to argue, he has already made his position known quote author=fergie001 post=134629888] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OatnIp2YNYA Rivers State of Emergency: Seriake Dickson v Akpabio at Plenary (vid)
Akpabio: Let us not argue, we are all distinguished colleagues, you are a former Governor, I am a former Governor. I watched you on television and I already know your stand on this issue. Allow me to preside.
Dickson: I respect you as the presiding officer, it has to be mutual.[/quote]
deathtoLeo1: these guys are very predictable impunity to the highest tueh ! the same allocations you accused the governor of not presenting budget ? so which budget are you going to work with ? same budget you declared invalid by your court. jeezzz this is pure armed robbery and embezzlement. God what's happening in this country. Yerobaboons have destroyed this country.
Who told you it is not in our interest? Did you take an unbiased survey to know how we feel or are you just showing emotional sympathy for Fubara? The question should be, did he violate the constitution?
MrSundry: These guys are hell bent on throwing Rivers state into chaos. All these dramas are not in the interest of the Rivers people but just few selfish politicians settling political scores.
Shame on Wike, Fubara, Martin Amaewhule all of the politicians involved in playing ludo with the lives of millions of Rivers people over political scores
Dead on arrival...Tinubu must complete his eight years in office
Truths9ja: Protest Erupts Over Wike's Controversial Statement on Ijaw Pride and Late Pa. E.K. Clark
Bayelsa, Nigeria — Tensions soared in Bayelsa State following the latest remarks made by Former Rivers State Governor and the FCT Minister- Nyesom Wike, which sparked a major protest led by the Ijaw National Frontiers. The protest was in response to Wike's controversial statement that described the Ijaw ethnic Nationality as Minority in the South. Wike's comments were perceived by many in the Ijaw States in the Niger Delta as an attack on the pride of the Ijaw people.
In a speech made earlier this week by Barr. Wike was perceived in a derogatory manner to the Late Ijaw Stateman Pa. E.K. Clark, a prominent Ijaw leader, a remark that many found disrespectful and divisive. Pa. E.K. Clark, who passed away in 2025, had long been a revered elder statesman, known for his tireless advocacy for the Ijaw people, their rights, and their cultural heritage. Barr. Nyesom Wike should allow Gov. Sim Fubara to govern River state in peace, creating division and undermining the incumbent governor will would rather bridge the peaceful coexistence with the Ikwerre people and the Ijaw people will not take that from the FCT Minister- Nyesom Wike.
The Ijaw Nation condemned Wike's statement, calling it "an insult to the Ijaw people" and "an affront to the dignity of our ancestors." The protest which saw thousands of people gather in the heart of Bayelsa's capital, Onopa-Yenagoa to demand an apology from the FCT Minister- Wike and a public retraction of his comments.
In a speech, Presented by Mrs. Peremor Opiah (Spokesperson, Ijaw National Frontiers) emphasized that Pa. E.K. Clark’s contributions to the Ijaw nation could not be belittled by any individual, regardless of their position or status. She said, “Pa Clark’s legacy is etched in the history of our people. His work transcended generations and will continue to inspire. Any statement that seeks to diminish that legacy is a direct attack on the pride of every Ijaw man and woman.” By the termination of the protest, the group submitted a letter to the President, Federal Republic of Nigeria - His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu through the commissioner of Police, Bayelsa state.
The protest, while peaceful, has created ripples within political circles, with many wondering whether this controversy could escalate into a larger ethnic or political conflict within the Niger Delta region.

When a governor is impeached, the deputy automatically becomes the governor.
she's from the orashi region, that's if you know the place, because a lot of strangers are putting their mouth into this rivers state issue without knowing anything about the dynamics of the state

Rivers state house of assembly is an assembly of due process. You can’t just go to a House Of assembly and say you want to present budget, it’s not done, I remember clearly that you wrote to Oko-Jumbo before appearing and presenting the budget, it was even on news. Stop trying to play the Victim. Hon Opuende Lolo said, Write to the Assembly in a proper way, not social media. I’ve seen countless times the RSHA has written to this Governor, through Red Star express and FedEx, they rejected the letters, this Assembly invited you, you refused to go, I pray that those giving this Governor evil advice, God will punish them, they are doing him more harm than good. They had already known that the gate was locked, it was just to show that they came, look at how they’ve mobilized newsmen, God will save us in Rivers State. Peace!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-L-WfFiuy74 Fubara: Gentlemen of the Press, I am here by myself this morning with few members of my Executive Council to comply with the Supreme Court Judgement. Before my arrival, I had already made several attempts by phone calls to the Speaker and other members. I also did a letter personally which was transmitted to the Honourable Speaker for this particular invitation but it's unfortunate you can see that the gates is completely sealed and there is no sign anything is going to happen today.
The reason why we Are doing this, I have always said it's for the interests of our people which is the most important thing. Well, I don't think there is anything to be worried about, maybe they are working on the letter. I expect to hear from them after this.
The Chairman of the senate committee on ethics Neda Imasuen has come under fire and strong criticism over the bad state of the road that leads to his house.
Meanwhile, Mr Imasuen, as chairperson of the Senate ethics committee, he was involved in the recent suspension of the Kogi Central senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, who accused the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, of sexual harassment.
After receiving a report from the Mr Imasuen-led committee, the Senate presided over by Mr Akpabio, suspended Mrs Akpoti-Uduaghan for six months over alleged misconduct and refusal to comply with the chambers’ sitting arrangement during the plenary session on 20 February.
Mr Akpabio referred the senator’s sexual harassment petition to the Senate ethics committee. The chairperson of the committee, Mr Imasuen, ruled that the petition was “dead on arrival” and would not be entertained by the Senate.
Therefore, netizens called on him to urgently fix the road in fulfilling promises made to the electorates.
Somebody has to oay tbe price for all the crisis that happend which took lives and properties worth billions of Rivers tax payers money. Fubara lost out and should do the honorable thing, atleast apologise.
You underrated the unity of these 27 members. Watch wnd see
Validated: Noted. But seriously, those lawmakers should not overstretch their luck. They should realize that Fubara is technically out to show the people of Rivers who the evil doers are. Also, they should know that Wike can no longer be governor or rule Rivers by proxy. The train has since left the station. If they do not take advantage of this moment, the governor will break their ranks. Even in 12 you have a judas, talkmore of 27.
They're Rivers State House of Assembly members and not pro-wike lawmakers. These are the type of words that misleads the public. Its not about Wike alone.
Amdist the ongoing political impasse in Rivers state and following the invitation by the state house of assembly to the RSIEC chairman and his commissioners, two of the commissioners has resigned their position. Recall that the commission has rushed to announce a date for another round of council elections after the supreme court judgement annulled the one it conducted last October due to violation of electoral laws.
I watched the full plenary and Natasha wa asked by the senate president if there's a suit that concerns the petition she wants about to drop and she said there's no court suit. The senate chamber cannot be brought to ridicule by this fair lady.
She erred in both instances, disobeying the senate rules and making a sexual harassment allegation which none of the senators they witnessed. So what is there to support he about?
Just as the senate cannot ask a court to stop it's juridiciary functions, the court cannot also ask the senate to stop it's functions especially as it has something to do with the senate plenary.
tuoyoojo: She knew she would not get justice that is probably why she did not show up
But wait o
I thought there was a court injunction stalling any action by the disciplinary committee
It's like these guys cherry pick what ruling to obey.
One arm of govt flaunting the instruction of another arm
