Mtcheww. Who are the sponsors of terrorism in Nigeria and around the world? The deception continues. The growth of Nigeria is against the demonic interests of the U.S. They want weak, subservient countries.

Someone like Bwala has no business being in government. It just shows how low the country has descended. Check his past remarks about Tinubu, yet he has the effrontery to speak. Despite Wike being a strong supporter of the president, he is also a hardworker and performer. On merit alone, he deserves a lot of things. Although I'm yet to see how he has been adequately compensated as claimed by Bwala. Exaggerated nonsense.

Bwala is an opportunist driven by his stomach. I don't blame him. He got this job by crawling on his knees. A man without dignity. Others have done the work, now he can run his mouth. What stops Bwala from having the resources Wike has? Is he not a man like him? Some people just envy others. Impeachment is a constitutional process and not a party affair. Before someone like this opens his mouth, he should at least have something meaningful to say. The article is just crap.

If Tinubu loses his re-election bid, Bwala will vanish and say worse than he previously did. A leopard doesn't change its spots. Political nonentities like this with no capacity should be cautioned about their utterances, before they cause a re-alliance that will jeopardise Tinubu's interest. Tinubu didn't pick Fubara to be the governor.

Leave Rivers politics alone for the participants. A mistake will be corrected. Fubara and his deputy must go for peace to return. They have clearly broken laws at numerous intervals. The lawmakers can't work with them given their penchant for violating the constitution. Our courts have used words like "tyrant" and "despot" to describe Fubara. Get your emotions out of it. Hard choices must be made.

AMINDA:
Baby talks. For a closed-door meeting. Was it Bayo Onanuga that leaked the outcome of the meeting to Fayose? Or maybe it was Tinubu himself. Fayose will eventually make peace with the fact that Tinubu has thrown Wike under the bus.

Conflict entrepreneur spotted. How any sensible person knows those against Tinubu's re-election is that they try to pitch Tinubu against Wike by peddling rubbish and making up scenarios.

This one has developed the habit of talking carelessly.

This is a senseless governor. I know of a governor who used that same label and is the most clueless ingrate in Nigeria. This is the preferred label of empty vessels.

The president should stop these useless meetings and focus on important issues like security. Misplaced priority.

After the removal of Fubara and his deputy, this corrupt forger of a Chief Judge is next. The system must be cleansed. I have never seen a Chief Judge who begs like this one. Very shameless. The Assembly will perform its duty.

This is the worst Chief Judge in the history of Rivers State. A corrupt beggar like Sim who has reduced the judiciary to a department of the executive branch. A shame to Rivers State and the judiciary. He has descended into the arena with the forgery dangling over his head. Once Fubara and his deputy are out, he is next.

Igirigimercenar:
It's a good thing that he is ikwerre/Benin man and NOT Igbo

Ikwerres are 101% Benins/Edo descendants and no single resemblance with igbos

He is an Ikwerre man, simple. It is a distinct ethnic group in Nigeria. Stop being mischievous with the Benin/Igbo labels.

This man is a nuisance. I question his mental state.

You clearly lack an understanding of the political reality in Rivers State. Fubara lacks the capacity to match Wike's political might. He lacks a lot of things, including knowledge and experience. A governor is not a king, especially in a state like Rivers, where you have a very active political scene. You must be grounded. Fubara is the governor (Head of the executive branch), but has no political clout. He was a civil servant handpicked by Wike (a veteran politician) and made a governor.

The political structures in the state are controlled by Wike. The funds of Rivers State doesn't belong to Fubara, part of why he is being impeached. You can't spend funds recklessly. Such things are only overlooked when the Assembly is on your side.
Look at the laws he has broken so far, and the numerous mistakes he has made. Give him all the funds, and he will still lose.

During Wike's tenure, did you see him begging the president like Fubara is currently doing? You can't give what you don't have. This is a governor (Fubara) that the Federal High Court called a tyrant, and the Supreme Court called him a despot. The worst mistake Tinubu will make is to pitch his tent with a clueless ingrate who doesn't honour agreement. Fubara is on his way out.

bigpicture001:
Ameachi should rest he cannot survive probe of the press if he is declared a flag bearer... Again he won't survive the EFCC onslaught..

Remember tinubu now hold the file of all rivers fmr governor through his state of emergency leadership in Rivers
..

EFCC go just pick this one with clear facts

Rest for who? Take this primitive mindset elsewhere. You are even shamelessly acknowledging the use of EFCC as a political tool to stifle opposition. He has every right to contest.

Jagabanfromcali:
Instead of Amaechi , I will vote Tinubu with two hands

You guys are always driven by emotion. Later you will be crying about Tinubu.

Qoko:
I can’t vote for someone who has worked with Buhari, instead Ai will stay home drinking whiskey and ponmo that day

See them. Emotional lot.

You draw a line in Greenland, but not Venezuela? Clowns. They have been condoning Trump's illegalities starting from his first term. Republicans are spineless.

Even though I disagree with Mitch McConnell's characterisation of Trump's proposed illegality as a mere "provocation", I agree with his summation of it as "incinerating the hard-won trust of loyal allies in exchange for no meaningful change in US access to the Arctic."

tnerro1:
If you love democracy, you will support PDP to survive. You think one party state is fun, wait till someone like Abacha takes over the party, na that time the difference go clear

Try to know and understand something first, before saying you love it. Is democracy hinged on a corrupt party like PDP's survival? What benefit has PDP brought to Nigeria since its inception? We have a multiparty system in Nigeria. Support your PDP, but don't gaslight people. PDP's survival is IMMATERIAL to our democracy. Ensure you get that in your head.

Lekby25:
Worst case, emergency will be declared again. Martin Amaewhule can never become governor by impeachment. If Amaewhule wants to become governor, let him go for an election

Martin Amaewhule has no ambition right now to be the governor. He has the right in the future to contest, if he so wishes. Being an acting governor after the impeachment of the governor and his deputy is simply the law and temporary. You guys are just myopic and concerned with the wrong things. You are not bothered that the governor is ruling the state as a despot. What a shame.

He should continue attending meetings. Lawless Desperado. He will learn the hard way.

There's really a lot of money in this country



Writer🙏🙏

It is a projection. Some of it may be funded through loans.

9jatriot:
Meanwhile, one so-called state governor in Rivers State has never submitted budget to his HOA since 2023 under the guise of fighting the members of the HOA and his predecessor.
To hear that he is even an accountant is even more frustrating.

Fubara is a big mistake.

A clear abuse of power.

Misplaced priority. Nnamdi Kanu is where he belongs.

Rufai is a charlatan masquerading as a journalist.

Keyin:
Those members of the House of Assembly are acting like political jokers. What makes their plan both strange and laughable is the so-called double-barrel impeachment they have long pursued. Attempting to impeach both the Governor and his Deputy simultaneously clearly suggests that the Speaker stands to benefit personally from the process, which completely undermines any moral justification—especially given that the move is politically motivated against both officeholders. I foresee these actors fading into political oblivion within a matter of days. Fubara and Wike will retain their positions, while the National Assembly is likely to step in and assume legislative responsibilities in Rivers State.

If the governor and his deputy have committed gross misconduct, why should they not be impeached? It doesn't matter what you think their motives are, the lawmakers are performing their constitutional duties. What moral justification are you yapping about? We are talking about law (constitution). Did they not list the grounds for the impeachment? So what is your problem? All these emotional lot. Smh.

hush15:
That is impossible. He is the governor andbunder APC, he has the right of first refusal

Go and listen to the APC national chairman. You are speaking from a place of ignorance.

Ezmans:
why he won't seek second term because of wike is he the owner of rivers?,

If Fubara doesn't do a 2nd term, how does that affect your life? If Wike didn't bring him, what would you have done? Mtcheww. Busybody.

tonykel1:
Assuming, but not conceding, that the governor had committed an impeachable offense, what did the deputy governor do to warrant impeachment as well, if not to pave the way for an Ikwerre man from Obio/Akpor, the same LGA as Wike, to be acting Governor, and three months later, allegedly pave the way for another Ikwerre man from the same Obio/Akpor to be substantive Governor, so their leader's son will succeed him in the House of Representatives?

It is a pity that while three Ijaw Rivers State House of Assembly sons are being kept away from the sittings of the house, the 13 other Ijaw and Orashi sons and daughters in the house are working hand in glove to sack their son and daughter from their offices as governor and deputy governor.

This argument is trite and unfounded. If Wike wanted an Ikwerre governor, he wouldn't have chosen Fubara and none of you would have stopped him. Stop making noise here with your raging emotions. This has nothing to do with tribe. Any reasonable person devoid of sentiments would know that there is a presumption that whatever Fubara was doing, his deputy was in support. Did you hear her say otherwise? Anyway, the grounds for her impeachment are clearly stated by the assembly members and not open to conjecture. Oko Jumbo and co are no longer lawmakers. Go and read the constitution. They can continue following Fubara around.

Eriokanmi:
The question we should be asking ourselves is, can wike as governor take all these excesses if fubara were in his shoes?

I can never ask myself such a stupid question. People are different. Circumstance, knowledge and experience shape people. Did the ingrate called Fubara fight for power? What is the source of his unfounded arrogance? Cluelessness for sure. I don't know what some of you are doing in the politics section. Fubara is a clueless neophyte that was handpicked from oblivion and thrown into office by a veteran in politics. He was a civil servant. Fubara can never be Wike. Stop comparing a dog to a lion. You guys cannot make Fubara what he is not. You will only push him to his doom.

richiemcgold:
Fubara is no more lily-livered. He's got a big big backup from Abuja big boys. When you have heavyweights like Ribadu, Umahi and Hope behind you, na to just dey fire dey go!

But only one advice I have for you sir - - complete your term and go back to your house. E get why

Not only Abuja big boys. Heavyweights indeed. Some of you are funny. In which state are they heavyweights? When did Ribadu start playing politics? How did his gamble in Kano emirate saga go? Hope Uzodinma, the Supreme Court governor as he was foundly called is a heavyweight? Umahi too? What a joke.

RISQUE:
Lolz

Does that kai kai man look like someone any serious political party wil align with? Let him fight Tinubu and see if anybody will align with him

Is there a serious political party in Nigeria? I don't want to type much, but you clearly lack the requisite knowledge to engage me in this topic. You are groping in the dark. When you understand politics, you won't be making this surface arguments. Alliances will be made to achieve the desired result. It is not about your feelings.

This empty-drum of an aide has been all over the place lately. The fact is that Fubara has no defence to those allegations. He won't escape any panel unscathed. No governor can function without the legislature.

Whichever way this goes, Fubara still loses. He is basically running from his shadow. This is what happens when you are surrounded by deluded sycophants and bad advisers. The gross misconduct will continue, as long as Fubara thinks he can work without legislative inputs and oversight.

RISQUE:
Wike will realign with who? ask yourself that question.

I'm not asking myself anything because I understand what the endgame is. You will be surprised. Politics is about interests. Politicians realign all the time. Should Tinubu betray Wike, anything to stop his re-election will be done. That is politics for you.

RISQUE:
The president will support fubara and wike will resign, project a candidate and fail. Wike will recruit his online urchins to insult the president

You wish. Insult is the least of Tinubu's problems. Such a fallout with Wike will jeopardise Tinubu's re-election. Wike will realign. Politics is about interests, so Tinubu should not be hypocritical and sanctimonious. He did the same thing to Ambode. Fubara is a small fish.

Long overdue. Time for these SANs to be held accountable. This is how some of them acquire illegal wealth.

The crisis ends when this clown and his deputy are out of office. Unrepentant, lawless ingrate.
