He doesn't want distraction, he is not a full time politician like Wike that never managed his personal businesses before coming to politics, Wike is power drunk and doesn't think anything else outside politics

What do you mean by distraction?
Anyways since he doesn't want to be distracted, what has he truly achieved in ensuring Enugu State can compete favourably with other States like Lagos, Rivers State and Abuja both in infrastructural development, human capacity development and economic value?

Traditionally Enugu is a fine State just like you can say of Cross River.
But........

So the SDGs, how have they impacted on the lives of the people?
I think in this era any government that's doing what is good should not find it difficult to have the media outlets market the State in a good way and also getting external investors for investment within.


Do they now have and enjoy water in the State?

I haven't been there since late '90's to early 2000.....

Yourbaslayer:
End up saying nothing after all this long epistle, dude nothing upstairs, Spit

I believe you got the message. But if you didn't it's none of my fault.
He who claims has something upstairs has been on the loosing end and will continue to change the narrative every now and always till they have nothing to settle for.

JASONjnr:
Wike doesn't care......

If Fubara is a weakling, he should stay away from politics or be a puppet.......

We want APC to win Rivers state by all means.....

Wike does not play that kind of game.
APC ca only get good votes as regards the presidential election, that ls as far as it can go.

It's up to Gov. Fubara if he intends to remain in PDP and still be the governorship flagbearer or risk going to another party and test his actual popularity......
Then let's see how those who say they are Ijaws will actually fall behind him and cast their votes for him.
Lets see how those purported ijaws would be emotionally sympathetic to the Ijaw cause.

Interestingly we have the likes of Dumo Lulu Briggs, Tonye Cole, etc, etc of Ijaw extraction who may likely vie for the position will they now consolidate their resources to ensuring that Gov. Fubara comes out unopposed and stands as the Ijaw governship candidate in the next election?

Ikinternational:
Reading your paragraph it's almost like there's two Wike's . For all that the man has done against PDP, you still fix your mouth to talk as if the man na party man.

Wike has become a political chameleon. I don't know how anybody can see him otherwise. OR even trust him sef

What has he done against PDP? That others haven't done worsted?

You mean to say that the PDP had the presidency under PGEJ and some fellows felt they have born to rule and they disorganized the party and ensured the party lost. Now those same individuals who couldn't get their selfish desires mapped for themselves now returned as saints to the PDP to claim what they have broken and abandoned.

It's only irresponsible people and those who don't think for themselves will give in to such sentiments and devilish betrayals.

I no blame you. I be Anambra Man with properties in Enugu. We igbos are one. You can't use your divide and conquer to sow evil seeds. We know your type. Anambra, Imo, Ebonyi, Enugu, Abia are one even our brothers in Anioma we are all one.

I have inlaws from Abia, Imo, Ebonyi Enugu. So forget your divide and conquer. Una dey learn work. We don pass that stage now

There is no such thing as the entire States from the East are one. That is a big fat story.
You can't claim to be one when one is claiming dominance over all.

..ok now that the 27 law makers have gone on indefinite adjournment...then what should fubara do Inorder to seek the attention and co-operation of these 27 law makers ..so that he can represent the budget to them and also comply with the supreme court judgement and resolve and solve and settle other issues with the law makers..so what should fubara do

Gov. Fubara will figure it out...
He does not need to be told. He knows what to do except if he feels he is unapologetic.


There are times when one should understand that trying to prove a point because the individual is right and the other wrong or vice versa is of no usefulness to God.
What matters is peace of mind and it's free.and available to those who truly seek it .


The peace Gov. Fubara seeks for rests in his heart and hands and no where else. It's only for him to go forward and apply it.

donmixc:
We arewa will teach you politics 101 then😎

Even Arewa will be dismayed. It is already a reality.

donmixc:
NO i didn't vote, infact i don't even have voter's card

2027 Arewa youth and leaders will do anything to get power back to north, we will teach southerners how to play national politics. na buhari i blame for not kicking that dingbat drug lord out of apc

arrant nonsense

Whatever name they call themselves is not my business.
One thing is certain the presidency is not going to the North.
They are free to plot and exploit . This presidency will remain till the Southern part completes it's tenure.

tunapawizzy:
Talking about being grateful, do you know Wike chose the speaker, and appointed a lot of Fubara's cabinet members, before they all chose to resign as instructed by the emperor. Fubara yielded so much to Wike. The problem started with wanting to dictate to Fubara how funds of the state will be spent. WHile Wike wanted funds of the state to be used to consolidate his political empire, Fubara realized that he will the one that will answer for misappropriation, if na u weytin u go do. Fubara was begging for a long time before the man was left with no option. The wike commissioners started abusing him, imagine u are governor and the people working for u as commissioners are just working against ur instructions, yet fubara did not sack them. They resigned, and when president mediated, they decided to cpome back-is that not weak enough on the part of the governor, Can anybody do that to Wike.
Fubara has never said WIke did not help him become governor, he always maintained that God used him but he will not hand Rivers money to be misappropriated by someone else when the person will not be the one to answer for it. Okowa made appointments, YES are those appointees not working in line with the program of the governor they are working for? To make appointments is not the issue.

We are well known of these stories and it's facts.

But the truth is that Gov. Fubara should come out clean and tell Rivers people himself with the use of his own mouth rather than what we are being told by those who say they are close to inside government house.

There's always a twist to some of it.

Gov. Fubara cannot deny the fact that he doesn't understand the situation he was going into from the onset except I'll say maybe now that he is the governor, he is personally seeing Rvers State allocation nearer rather than before and something in him is crying Freeman....

ufotunang:
.. when they told fubara to represent the budget..fubara told them he has not yet receive the certified true copy of the supreme court judgement yet and read it and study it to be sure of what the supreme court judgement said but not to rely on social media news supreme court judgement...then when he receive the certified true copy of the supreme court judgement and go through it...then he will comply with the supreme court judgement and represent the budget to the law makers.....but since he got the certified true copy of the supreme court judgement and want to represent the budget the law makers do not want to co.operate with him

Gov. Fubara is playing a deliberate game alongside the Ahmaewule team. They are all baiting themselves.
Gov. Fubara saying the CTC has not been handed to his lawyers and can't rely on the social media version....

Has anyone come out to say the social media version and the CTC now in his custody has any differences...? Absolutely, no.

Gov. Fubara was given a 48 hour window. He was waiting for CTC document. He was given another 48 hours. He received the CTC he was waiting for refused to talk about the budget representation but rather he sent them a social media invite for a meeting regarding their entitlements and so forth....


It is all a ploy by the governor .He knows exactly what he is doing. I see a script being played out deliberately by himself and the others. It all looks like what they have rehearsed over time.

Lastly, the governor does not want to go on their terms like they are the ones controlling him. He wants them to come on his terms like he is the one calling the shots..
He can't get that done the way he is going about it.when there's a bad blood already between them.

If he is trying to get Rivers people to go against the legislative house or bring harm to any of them , there will be serious chaos and the unfortunate ones will loose their lives.

If he is trying to get social media and public emotional sympathy when the FAAC is not paid and he will make it look like it's the fault of Ahmaewule and his team, they will in turn tell it to his face that he has held on to their entitlements for months and no one cared how their fed or well being and welfare since it was said that hungry will kill them...

So he should be the one to be blamed if he can't pay civil servants because of FAAC allocation not paid the State or some other bureaucratic issue......


That is what it will turn out to be.

lexy2014:
which money should the governor have used to purchase a ticket for a candidate in Anambra?

how will he see to it that the candidate is "well supported by other PDP state governors"?

You can figure that out for him or he can do it for himself . He is educated enough and a business man to know what to do.

lexy2014:
which money should the governor have used to purchase a ticket for a candidate in Anambra?

how will he see to it that the candidate is "well supported by other PDP state governors"?

Are you sure you're asking this question?
What is the essence of people claiming to be from a party if can't render help to the party?


And you'll come and say that PDP made somebody?

Kobojunkie:
Everyone knows the chances are about 100% that this sleeze bag of a man is guilty as charged, so what is all of this nonsense for?

If he was guilty why did she not day it all thos while ?
Why did she have to wait till this issue of change of seat arrangement?
Or did they both agree to some sort of trade offs?


Why did she not charge him to court on the sexual allegations but rather threw that off and went forward to seek a court injunction to stop the house from suspending her?

Who does she think she's appealing to by her rhetorics?

Alex80s:
Wike questioning Governor Mbah's academic qualifications is laughable. Mbah is not a noise maker or charge and bail. He is intelligent and calm. If u ever hear Barrister Mbah speak, u will love him. I don't think of an State Governor now who is as articulate as our Governor. Can Wike engage Governor Mbah in an Open debate on national television? The answer is noooooooooooo

No be by being articulate and hold degrees.....


What has Gov. Mbah done in Enugu State that can be considered to be on same with what Wike achieved in Rivers State as governor irrespective of the allocations of both States?
That is how measurements are done.

djon78:
Let me tell you I know Rivers State politics from way back.

Wike was made Obio akpor local government chairman by Dr Peter Odili. Do you know the role justice Mary Odili played in Wikes career

If not the mistake Dr Peter Odili made in not giving Chibuike Amechi his PDP gubernatorial primaries and gave it to Celestine Omehia. Wike would not have had the chance to play both sides and get the spoils from Amechi victory in the supreme court.

Wike is known to play sides. He played Amechi to Patience Jonathan, got the spoils. So I know him very well. He should repent because all these things are vanity upon vanity

I won't want to pick on your comments but you should know I don't do sentiments and don't follow others to hate on another.

I am a full blooded fellow birthed, breed and schooled in the State and I know all there is as regards the politics of it from 1999 till date. I know the gossips and circumventions.

Leonardo4:
It's pitiable. The kind of politics Nigerians play. The west we learn this from don't do this rubbish. All they do is for the betterment their people

That was before.
The West has changed.
You see what Trump is doing to that Ukraine fellow, it's what's going to happen....

Go back in time from 1999 till date, all the Presidents of the USA and that of Nigeria have certain peculiar character they showcase in governace and administration and they have been consistent for a reason like that.....

ufotunang:
..if the budget is not represented ..the. how will the 27 lawmakers receive their aasears of salaries and allowances the state governor has been owing them since.. because fubara said he is willing to pay their arrears of salaries

If they didn't complain about Gov. Fubara withholding their entitlements then and they didn't write him to bother about it since he Fubara did not recognize them, then they have no ready to bother now....



From what I see the window they gave the governor to re-present the budget has elapsed and the governor did not make good use of it in the right way.

The governor wanted to have his way with them and not them have their way with him...



This is a subtle power play, they are doing and the governor is actually falling for their bait.
Gov. Fubara will only gather public sympathy and emotional sentiments but these fellows will have their way till a higher authority tells them to call it off completely.
They want to see how far the governor will go to show pride , ego, power play.....


The Ukrainian President just comes to mind.

djon78:
Shut that your trap up. Don't bring that madness to Igbo land. We are one. Igbo bu ofu. Go and serve your master who is a rabble rabble rouser. A man who was nothing before. PDP made him what he is, but turned the party into something else. Absolute nonsense

PDP made him what and how?

How much did PDP contribute to his being sponsored in politics from 1999 till present?


The same PDP that made him has not been able to build their national building at Wadata for how many years counting till date?


PDP made this, PDP made that....
Who is the PDP?
Is PDP a man or a woman?

Leonardo4:
In summary they are all for their selfish interest from PBAT TO SIM TO WIKE.

Very correct.

fergie001:
SOURCE

What exactly are they up to?

I no support indefinite recess oOoOO!!!


What kind of power play is this?


Gov. Fubara is just by himself.
No legislative house.
No commissioners.
No LGC chairmen.

I hope this is not some form of payback for Gov. Fubara withholding their entitlements and not recognizing them for this long..!!!!


But this is ugly and dirty for them to come up with such approach towards their duties as a house!!!!!

Leonardo4:
But the power eike is wielding today is from the federal, Tinubus regime. So he can actually call him to order. If he weren't a minister Wike would have been forgotten

Why would PBAT call Wike to order?
Was PBAT aware of the agreement between Wike and Fubara before Fubara became Governor?
Was PBAT a witness to what they agreed upon?

When the purported elder states men and Fubara went to see PBAT on the issue , was there not an agreement given them and they all agreed but the moment they got to Rivers State they did differently....

What was in their eyes when they agreed to what PBAT offered and what was in their eyes when they retuito Rivers State?


Are these the kind of people we call leaders and you want PBAT to rely or trust them?

donmixc:
Get out of my mention, I hope you are enjoying the dingbat drug lord now, 2027 will shock you all including Helinues

Did you even vote in the last presidential election or your voting was done in social media platforms?


Do you have a voters card because we do know many of your likes don't posses any?


Moreso, PBAT will still win 2027 because Atiku will still be the main contender against him.

Celepope:
Sentiment aside, Wike is right. As the leader of the party in the South East zone, what stops the Governor from purchasing a ticket for a candidate in Anambra and also see to it that the candidate is well supported by other PDP state Governors. If not that he is the only PDP Governor in the SE, he ought to have been relieved of his position as the Leader of the party in that region.

They claim they know politics and politicking and yet they are goofs.

Wike's word to me is only an advice to the Gov. Mbah but a deputy LG chairman is joining words with Wike....

Tomorrow they will shout PDP made Wike meanwhile it's the resources that belongs to Wike's State that he uses to support the PDP and sustain same yet those who claim to be PDP governors in their respective States can't do 0.00000000001 of what Wike is doing and support their fellow governors in funds and sweat elsewhere.
All they know is keep and steal for themselves and not work for the stronghold of the party.
Tomorrow they will say they are leaders.

robosky02:
He didn't work for free
He was handsomely rewarded and was never dictated to like this

No one is self made
Everyone needs someone
Even today somebody made him FCT minister
He didn't get there by election


Bro park well

What do you man by reward?

What reward are you referring to?


Are you also from Rivers and an Ijaw man because it is said that ijaw means TRUTH. But it seems there has been lies thrown left, right center and backwards !!!!

robosky02:
Wike was humble those days
Holding umbrella for ijaws

Now he has the umbrella and it looks like a sweeping machete

He has paid his dues. He owes no one. If there's anyone that has helped him climbed that he has not settled, let them all come out and speak or forever hold their peace.

It was because of an Ijaw man Wike fought his own fellow friend and fellow ikwerre brother....
Where were the purported Ijaws then in Rivers State?
It was because of an Ijaw man that Wike ensured Amaechi could not enter into Rivers State and have peace of mind!!!!

What has the Ijaw done for themselves that Wike in his character has not done over and more for the Ijaw nation since he became a political bulldozer in PDP.

ruggedtimi:
One thing i know is...These groups cant stand fed might in full scale but they can sabotage nigeria's economy. They have easy access to most oil and gas offshore facilities. Not a good idea to let nigeria go back to 2004 era.

It's all an empty threat....
Do you know why.......

Which of the oil platforms will they go out to destroy......in which community?
Communities that State government and govenrors has not done anything meaningful for more than 16 years?

Pipeline surveillance in Rivers State is handled by the same purported Ijaws?
So will they stand by and let other Ijaws destroy their source of income?

Forget about all those saying Wike is insulting the ijaws.....
The question to ask....
Is it true or false?

We were told Gov. Wike gave the Bayelsa State government under this current administration money to upgrade the law school in Bayelsa State but unfortunately no one can't tell what the money was used for but this same Wike went ahead and build a befitting law school in Rivers State and you did not see this purported ijaw people to hold their Ijaw leaders accountable!!!!!!

Gov. Wike heart is so good that he is known to use Rivers State funds to render aid to help s fellow governors in other States, not just in the South South region but even across...

Please how many governors do such given their State resources.
It's said it's not who is wealthy or rich that has money to give but he who has a good heart.
This purported ijaw people don't like good thing. If they truly do then go and look at the only indigenous Ijaw State and tell us what you see given the resources at their disposal!!!

Svoboda:
Sometime during his tenure as governor, elrufai had written an open letter to president Buhari asserting that the APC had derailed from its core founding principles. I think that was shortly before the APC presidential primaries. I think in that line, he's been consistent.

How about the sponsored killing of christians in Southern Kaduna, wasn't that part of his own detailing from the core principles of the party?

jmoore:
Nyesom Wike in a televised media chat yesterday threatened to blow up the whole country if militants blow up pipelines.



https://www.arise.tv/wike-dismisses-threats-over-fubaras-impeachment-says-heaven-will-not-fall/

The day you were born if you were named Militant , please raise your hands up....


I love this. Wike please tell them. Enough of this unnecessary threats. There are lots of Ijaw communities where crude oil, etc, etc, is been found and used and the respective State governors and governments have not done any meaningful development to such places, have we heard the so called INC or others come out to speak against it or threaten the State governors and government to blow pipelines......

This is just the beginning.

Urgent1Million:
@the bolded.
Not when the state Chief Judge is siding with the governor.

Is the CJ of the State answerable to the State Governor or to the CJN when it gets really messy?

AKAyomide:
It isn’t done that way! A date will be fixed and it will be announced in the old and new media outlets. Just like the voter register will be used for the signatures paper. The card reader will be subjected to be used to read those voters card. If it isn’t done rightfully it will be a wasted exercise

Do you think this will happen?
Who is going to sponsor such?

AKAyomide:
No sir. You are so wrong. The tenure of the local government chairman can be elongated. Supreme Court recognizes the possibility of extending the tenure of local government chairmen under exceptional circumstances, such extensions must be legally justified and not serve as a substitute for conducting timely elections. The Court condemns any actions that illegally terminate or unduly prolong the tenure of elected local government officials, underscoring the importance of adhering to constitutional provisions and upholding democratic values. Regarding tenure extension in the absence of elections, the Supreme Court acknowledged that while the Constitution allows for tenure extensions under specific circumstances—such as insecurity or war that make elections impracticable—this provision should not be misused to undermine the democratic process. The Court highlighted that any attempt to prematurely end or unlawfully extend the tenure of local government councils without due process violates the electorate’s mandate and contravenes democratic principles. As it stands in Rivers State, the interpretation gives the right for the previous local government chairman to return to their council till the local government election is being conducted. It is a lawful procedure. The law passed by the Rivers State Assembly didn’t contradict what the Supreme Court said. The lawyer passed from Rivers State stated the duration for the elongated to six months while the election is being conducted. We should not always miss emotion with the law!

Let s watch and see.....
I don't mix emotions with law.
