Benwallt: A former Presidential spokesman, Reno Omokri on Saturday said it was very unwise for the Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara to have shaded the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike publicly.
Omokri, in a tweet said “I am not sure Fubara was wise to shade Wike publicly. No matter what has happened between them, he still got to where he is because God used Wike to lift him.”
According to Omokri, “It is spiritually and morally wrong for anyone to hurl invective, whether apparently or subliminally at your benefactor. Wike may be overbearing, but at least his bullish personality got you where you are. It shows crass, not class.”
He said this would hardly happen among the Yoruba, saying “And look at where they are today. Godfatherism is bad. But when you go into a royal marriage, you don’t expect a usual marriage.
“Ogun and Lagos states have a larger budget than many African countries. Yet, their Governors were and are still loyal to their godfather.
“Harry S Truman was made US President by his godfather, Robert E. Hannegan. It happens. If we are to be honest, how is godfatherism different from mentorship? You can manage such relationships and not let it damage your Government.”
very well spoken. Let Fubara continue enjoying the applause from the Obideients and others who hate Wike because of his support for Tinubu till it screws him over.

Vladimir Putin’s plane has landed in Abu Dhabi for the Russian leader’s first trip to the United Arab Emirates since 2019.
At the beginning of their meeting, UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan called Putin a “dear friend,” saying that he was “happy” to see his Russian counterpart again. The two leaders last met in June at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), where the UAE head of state was the guest of honor.
Putin pointed out that relations between Moscow and Abu Dhabi had recently reached “an unprecedentedly high level,” describing the UAE as Russia’s largest trading partner in the Arab world.
Emirati military jets drew the Russian tricolor in the skies above the nation’s capital to herald Putin’s arrival.
Camel riders and horse-mounted officers greeted Putin’s motorcade as it made its way from the airport to the presidential palace.
The Kremlin said earlier that the leaders of the two countries will discuss “the prospects for further development of multifaceted Russia-UAE cooperation, as well as pressing international issues with the emphasis on the situation in the Middle East.”
The negotiations in Abu Dhabi will take place in both extended and one-on-one formats, according to Russian presidential aide Yury Ushakov. The high-profile Russian delegation also includes Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, First Deputy Prime Minister Andrey Belousov, Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandr Novak, Trade Minister Denis Manturov, Central Bank Governor Elvira Nabiullina, and the heads of the country’s atomic and space agencies.
After Putin concludes his program in Abu Dhabi, he is scheduled to travel to Riyadh for talks with the king and crown prince of Saudi Arabia.
15 minutes in...and I am wondering what it is with Wike and his insatiable need for gratitude. Here he is yet again, lecturing parents and grandparents on what constitutes good character, trust, and loyalty.
Did those "parents and grandparents" complain? You people like swallowing Panadol on another person's headache.
OmoFiditi: Since the police has now shown to be an interested party in Rivers state. Sim Fubara should have his Ijaw creeks boys around him 24/7. Ngige survived with only vigilante, when Uba brothers withdrew his police officers with their influence.
He should join his Ijaw boys in the creeks after he has been impeached.
