Then I hope you are ready for the country to burn? Remember your oil pipelines o! Fubara goes no where! Talk another thing.

Watch and see.
Did you see or hear of those military men that put on padlock on their lips/mouths during that Rivers State cult clash during the time of Gov. Amaechi...
Much more will be stationed in Rivers State if they resort to burning the pipelines.
Moreso know that even Asari will not join and will use his boys to protect his territory.
Make them no use the name of ijaw deceive you. Every man for him belle.


You have forgotten that na Ijaw people collect surveillance contract!!!!
You can't burn what your kinsman is being paid to protect. Ypu can't use your political fight to destroy another man's source of income.

The court held that Governor Fubara withdrew his counter-affidavit at the lower court in the matter and as such cannot commence an appeal in a matter he didn’t challenge at the trial stage.

He has to start afresh again that is the meaning of the judgement

Start afresh from where and from what?
You must be one of those lawyers who waste time in front of a judge.
Some lawyers will soon meet embarrassing situations.

sirpharrell:
There is no doubt before the law that Martins is the rightful Speaker of the House of Assembly. The Appeal court had already made this clear in a previous judgement. That is why they berated the Governor today for disobeying the orders of court. Rivers State has no budget so far as far as the law is concerned and that is very worrisome. Something big will happen in that state soon but it will surprise only those who have been reasoning with emotions.

They have no idea what is coming.
Imagine a governor withdrawing his counter from the High Court and afterwards he goes to Appeal Court to seek redress: based on what
I keep wondering who are his advicers.
The court is not interested in sentiments and emotions oOoOO on this matter.
They will be surprised when the Nigeria Police aided by the Nigerian Army will be used to ensure that he and those who are going against judgement abide by it.

Slimm01:
Oga calm down, Wike can't do nada. Fubara's energy is being powered by Peter odili and some notable powerful ijaw caucus in Rivers state and the Niger delta. If Rivers state catches fire, it will consume Wike and it it shall also affect the Nation's oil output. Tinubu knows this, hence he is threading carefully not to openly support Wike. Militancy will rear its ugly head again it will turn a tribal war.

Stop deceiving yourself with all this ijaw this and militancy. PBAT is not a child.
If Gov. Fubara thinks it will be that they will disrupt oil production, just pray that does not happen. Then you'll know who will cry.

A lot of people don't read before they comment.
How would Gov. Fubara withdraw from the High Court and after the judgment is not in his favour, he is going to the Appeal Court!!!
Please what is he going to appeal ?
I wonder the kind of people advising him?
People will come and say Wike has bought the judiciary.

Amaechi is certainly not being honest here.
You were Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly for 8 years and all is known about.
If you were even honest then you would have not have had a quarrel with Magnus Abe

SmartPolician:
The Lagos State Government has pleaded with the youths to enroll in the military.




Source: https://dailypost.ng/2024/10/10/lagos-govt-begs-youths-to-join-military/

Does he not have children or people from his family?
Let him recruit them.

Remember Wike said, he may not win the fight but.....
Gov. Fubara has said he has knelt down and begged Wike numerous times and Wike said otherwise.
I keep finding this in-fighting on the part of Fubara because Wike keep saying all there is but Fubara has refused to say what is his quarrel with Wike other than what we hear from other people.
I have not seen this kind of governor who hides behind other people and not say what is the real issue but will use the media to say words of sarcasm.

It's a good thing coming from a former CBN and the governor of Anambra State.
Now let's see how those who claim they are a marginalized tribe would react to this since they have been looking for liberalization?
Let's see if they would go to court as the governor has spoken...
Let's see if they have the guts to go to court.

It's only those who don't use their heads to think will fall for any thing looking meaningful to be taken serious with thought. I guess this is a counter to that which Reno wrote.

Of what use is regional government now and why would anyone be talking about who is to be blamed?

Imagine a State like Kwara that was part of the Northern region. Then 1967 it became West Central State and then 1976 it was renamed Kwara State then 1990 it was further split into Kogi and Niger States.
Imagine how these individual States still remain undeveloped even though they enjoy autonomy, how much more of they remain the old way of Regionals.

Let's also see the Old Eastern Region comprising of Old Rivers State out of which Bayelsa State was cut out and the 5 Igbo speaking States. Imagine the level of underdevelopment that some of these States are as single units ,how much more if they remain the old ways.

All those who are speaking about the return of the Regional government don't really have any good intention. They are just like those who think going back to the old national anthem will change anything in the nation.

Since the creation of Bayelsa State everyone who was made Minister of Petroleum from that State has made and left the Nigerian Refineries worse than they met it.
This particular minister is the worse of them all anyways. Nothing he achieved as minister of agriculture during PGEJ and now same nothing.
They just give them portfolios but they have nothing worth calling achievement arising from such.

joebeckz:
Nigerian Politicians are selfish.
Why will a Governor serve 8 Years and still want to dictate or appoint people to serve under his successor?
I do not support God fatherism.

Wike did well on infrastructure in Rivers without hindrance and should let his successor govern the state in his own capacity so that when he fails, we all see his incompetence.

People supporting Wike would never allow someone dictate for them in their various affairs especially if they are the heads.
Peter Odili didn't Lord over his successor.

Ameachi allowed Wike rule when Wike proved stubborn.

Wike doesn't let things slide and is always very bitter, he is a man who puts personal ambition and interest above the State.

He lost governorship primaries then worked against his own party.
Peter Obi won Wikes LGA in the presidential election and Wike made sure to destroys ballot.

He is willing to go every length to destroy his party if things do not go his way..

That is q very bad character.
As someone that have lived in Rivers State for long now, I use to like him when he was governor but his bitterness is making me think twice about his personality at the moment.

Fubara on the other hand should work even while fighting, you can put things in place going. Don't face fight and forget your duties because I am yet to see what he has done exceptionally so far. I might be wrong. But nothing visible.

If he is facing education or other sectors that aren't visible then let him employ Media to make it loud so people can see. Because at the end, your work will speak for you.

This is my opinion on the ongoing feud.

Do you know the relationship between Peter Odili, Rotimi Amaechi and Nyesom Wike?
Do you not know that Peter Odili could not become a godfather to Rotimi Amaechi likewise Rotimi Amaechi could not become godfather to Nyesom Wike because there are certain issues that brought the later two to become governors and through which she stood and the issue of godfatherism could not even be mentioned. Also the relationship between Gov. Rotimi Amaechi and Wike before he was made CoS cannot be likened to a godfather and godson relationship.

But the process that led to Sim Fubara becoming governor is the only process that anyone could say that would be the beginning of godfatherism in installing a governor but it went bad as a result of things still unclear to the populace.

Those who came to become political weights through the recommendation of certain persons knows these persons and I believe have given them the honor due them.

Let the true narrative be spoken.
PBAT is not a novice in the game and he does and will not align with anyone who does not honor agreements.

I do not know what is Tonye Cole's true intentions in this comments and saying if PBAT wants peace in Rivers State.
Tomorrow the people in Kano who are dethroning and enthroning Emir's will do same thing as if it was PBAT that caused the fights and in fighting.

helinues:
The person who is more powerful in position should be the one controlling the party affairs in the state

I'm very sure you did not think through your comment.

So let's say you're right in your logic. Then PBAT who is the President and weilds power is the Leader of the APC. The APC not just at the national level but in all the States of the Federation where APC is the ruling party.
Certainly PBAT is the more powerful as it stands now in the country?

helinues:
Except if you are saying the state party chairman should be powerful than the state governor

I don't know what you mean by more powerful...

Ulogwe1:
Do you have the evidence that he asked them to contest under the umbrella of APP?

Funny statement....
Please who bombed the Rivers State HA building?
Who is responsible for the burning and destruction of the LGC buildings?
Please where are the evidence?

helinues:
Logically, the governor of the state should be the leader of the leading party in the state as he is the one in charge of the state affairs

There's no logic in it.
The State affairs is being run by the governor and that is his duty as a governor.
The Party Chairman is the Leader of the party and same run the affairs of the party.
It's high time we do the right thing. All this abnormalities is because we give respect and loyalty to money rather than institutions.

helinues:
The governor of the state is normally the leader of the party in the state

But Fubara is not acting like a leader but instead like a sissy

Leaders don't nag, they act

What is the essence of having a Party Chairman who by right and duties such is the Leader of the party?

Is it written in the party constitution that the incumbent governor is the leader of the party or where do we even copy all these abnormalities from?

RemiClitHoris:
You're a jonzing man. Call him to order for what?
The Chairman should be encouraged because he is doing the right thing.
Wike is in severe pains as at this moment. He never knew that a day like this will come. He is the biggest lover in this fight. All his so called structure is no more. He doesn't have the political rights anymore to make demand from Tinubu. He has lost that right.
He cannot set confusion and fire in other PDP states as he threatened because he has no home base.

Meanwhile, he has many enemies in the APC controlled government who are working underground for him to be redeployed to another ministry or sacked completely. If any of this happens, then, Otilo.

Wike is completely gone politically.

You are mistaken.
Wike will exceed all former governors of the State before him politically and otherwise.

Anither563:
Hmmm. This is disrespectful. I expect the Rivers state Governor to call this boy to order.

They should be allowed to work without restrictions. He is the council boss.
What is a name being removed from a building and renamed going to change or add to the individual who owns the name be it living or dead?
May the council boss also be mindful of how he goes a oit his work, you never know who will takeover from him and probably that person may likely demolish his property if it contravenes the law of the LGA.

ugodson:
I was just being sarcastic when i said 2am. I meant as a daughter she has unlimited access to her father

That is not how it ought to be.
If the govenror refuses to marry, then the office of the first lady should be coordinated by the wife of the deputy governor.
If you are agreeing that the daughter should take over because she can see her father the govenror at any point in time then you should also agree that whenever a govenror is out of the State, country or even when illness or disease cannot allow the governor to carry out his duties then the wife and children should be allowed to carry out the duties of the govenror pending when he becomes better and strengthened to carry them out.

JASONjnr:
This woman never told Nigerians to start gardening in their backyard because she knew that most Nigerians are renting apartment.

She never pretended to the Nigerian people.

She doesn't wear expensive jewellries...

She never lied to Nigerians that her husband was rich and doesn't need Nigerians money.

This woman took control of her husband and directed him without allowing the cabals to control the man. She will meet with the masses and convey the message directly to her husband and the possible solutions.

She was too close to her husband that people accused her of controlling him. And calling her husband a weakling.

They went and voted a tyrant and a tax collector... Today they're chanting that they miss them.

Do you mean the same Nigerians missing him are those who are going to plead with him to come become an presidential aspirant in 2027?

A president who preferred that his community and State remains undeveloped because he does not want to say the truth that those entrusted with government monies go to prison.

ugodson:

I don't mind the deputy governor's wife take charge but same people will come out and say the governor is sleeping with the deputy's wife cos most things will be approved by the governor.
The daughter can approach her father by 2am when he is free.
So please let's respect his decision.
Mind you am not from his state neither do i know him

We will respect his decision because we don't like to do the right thing.
What will she be discussung with her father by 2am when she would be in her husbands house and in bed with him?
Or do you not think that one day the husband will accuse her of sleeping with her father when she starts insulting him and when he has also collected his own portion of the family political monies?

ugodson:
At first didn't like the idea. But the truth is that if her daughter worked closely with her, she may want to fulfill all (projects and support) her mother started.

So personally is ok. Let's not be quick to judge

One Love

So the deputy governor's wife will be taking directive from the coordinator of the office of the first lady since the governor thinks he can confude himself with English? Please between the coordinator and the deputy governor's wife who will say Ma?

Nobody will argue with him except grumble if he says his daughter is the first lady after the demise of the mother.

kcprince:
Rivers LGA election has given us a glimpse of how 2027 presidential election will be . He doesn’t need to think about it because his IG of police, service chiefs and INEC will deliver the country to him. I even fear he may seek third term.

What surprises me most is that no political heavyweight is talking or condemning what is happening in rivers state. It shows how low our democracy have sank.

When Patience Jonathan the first lady and Minister Wike was fighting Amaechi when he was Governor, you did not know that democracy has sank. When Gov. Wike as fighting Minister Amaechi, democracy did but sank
Now that Fubara and Wike are fighting and you keep mentioning PBAT name in everything bad happening in Rivers State, democracy has sank.
Continue. The fight is far from finish. It has only began.

Giftimoni:
How now FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike was brought and helped into rivers politics by Peter Odili.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljUmgbsCpJs

The title of the post or video is very misleading.
You brought someone into politics does not really translate to you helping the person.

Reading comments of persons above it clearly shows many did not watch the video.

I will speak more on the second video where the order of the court was read by Chief O.C.J .Okocha and it's very clear from that order that the FHC judge called the LG election to be conducted by RSIEC an illegal election and told the defendants not to participate.
If this is one of the order among many orders then it clearly shows Gov. Fubara once again is being mislead by his advicers or should I say that he has given himself to be selective on which court order suits his interest.
May we not be deceived by people who speak half truths making it look like they mean well for all of us.

PaellaPaella:
Cry harder, nothing will change the out come of the election, the druggie is too small to run Nigeria like Lagos, that crap can only work in yoruba land, get it into your thick empty skull,

Before you quote someone read and comprehend.

BluntCrazeMan:
..


So, I want to Ask..

Which Register of Voters would they use.??

RSIEC didn't register Voters.
And therefore, there is no way they can check that people voted multiple times, or that people from other States came into Rivers State Just to Vote.

Any aggrieved individual should take their case to court.
INEC said it has not given RSEIC the updated voters register and the RSEIC commissioner has said he has been given.
Well all parties will present what they have and used as evidence in the court.
It's an interesting episode.

wealthyprince:
The court is the problem how can they solve a problem they caused.

The court is not the problem. The problem is with the individial who goes to court.

BeeBeeOoh:
The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has cautioned River State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, from making “unfounded allegations” against him.

Daily Trust had reported how Fubara accused Egbetokun of working with his opponents, vowing to hold him accountable if there is break down of law and order in the state.

Fubara made the allegation after intervening in an incident at the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC) office on Friday morning.

According to the governor, he prevented an alleged attempt by the police to remove materials meant for the upcoming local government elections.

Egbetokun, while reacting in a statement on Friday night by the Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria Police Force, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said it was shocking to see Fubara storm the RSIEC office.

Even the Rivers State Governor ought to have sought the court to interpret its own order in this instance...
On a ordinary telling the NPF to not provide security or be involved in such an election given the political fights between a predecessor and successor ordinarily means there should be no election and the governor cannot sought out to use private security outfits in place of constituted ones.

Well, let's see what the day will be like and please let's all be careful and mindful as we go about the day's activities.

I think the NBA man is speaking and directing his speech wrongly....
The NBA should question the judgment of the judge who that order which stands against the mandatory and compulsory duty of the NPF rather than questioning the position of the NPF in wanting to carry out that order.

While the NBA is concerned about this political issues in Rivers State at this point in time, I can't remember the NBA at any point in time questioning the order of the NPF ordering hospitals and Nigerian Doctors in the country not to treat individuals with gunshot wounds and the Nigerian Doctors have not complained about same which goes against their sacred oaths of professionalism to save life first. We have not even talked of the one that hospitals demand money from people before treatment even emergency situations....
This country is a big circuit of comedians.

MEEVEET:
Oga all high court are of equal powers
State ooh, fct ooh, and federal are of equal power

The only difference is jurisdiction that's all

The jurisdiction is the POWER.

MEEVEET:
There are two court orders from two courts of equal power

One from Rivers State high court which came first
The other from federal high court which came later

But are opposing each other, by right are you not supposed to obey the first Order?

The two courts though High Court are not of the same order of equal power.
The State High Court is State powers....
The Federal High Court supercedes all.

There is also the FCT High Court which is quiet different from the Federal High Court of Nigeria.

Also the last or later order is the order that the individual involved should adhere to and not the former as long as both orders are arising from the same case.
Gov. Fubara is only adhering to the order from the SHC from the view that the case at hand is a State issue.
I look forward to the administration of the new CJN and how she intends to bring sanity to the judiciary.
