Did the house of assembly screen the rsiec members fubara appointed

Who told you that fubara appointed them, they were appointed by Wike and screened by past state house of assembly. The problem is that they are no longer dancing to Wike tune so they have to go. That is the democracy under Tinubu the man that fought military (allegedly).

Before the government of Nigeria and the president of the country, life means nothing anymore in this country.

loffyloffy:
Na hatred and Bitterness go kpa you

Normally I don't reply people like you, but I need to know, hatred and bitterness for who? It is only wickedness and hatred for ones country will make you support what happened in the coastal highway, money was spent to gather those fools to a construction site to cut tape for 30km out of 750km that is less than 4%. You are the wicked one here because you hate this country.

Hmmm, so what the president of Nigeria commissioned is patches of 17 km, 5km and another 5km in 700km road. Shame no dey APC eye and this president is not serious for governance.

Reno na jew, if not baba for claw am at 30km to nowhere.

How Nyesom Wike made Amaechi Governor in 2007.

Rotimi Amaechi was a two time Speaker of Rivers State House of Assembly and as the 2007 PDP gubernatorial primaries approached, he was the anointed candidate of Sir Dr. Peter Odili (the incumbent Governor).

Odili at the time was vying for office of the President of Nigeria and paid less attention to the politics of Rivers State.
Rotimi Amaechi contested for the PDP gubernatorial primaries along side Rt. Hon. Austin Opara (former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives).

Rotimi Amaechi won the PDP primary election and was set to fly the flag of the PDP in the 2007 gubernatorial election.

THE K-LEG SAGA:
At the South South PDP rally in 2006, where flags where presented to South South PDP Governorship flag bearers, Olusegun Obasanjo (President of Nigeria as he then was) did not give Amaechi his flag on the grounds that “his Governorship ticket had developed K-leg”.

Obasanjo said he took the decision based on the reports available before him and he instructed the leadership of the PDP in Rivers State to replace Amaechi with someone else.

Odili in his book “Conscience and History - My Story” stated that the National leadership of the party acting on the orders of President Obasanjo told him to either name a candidate or have one named for him.

Odili in his wisdom replaced Amaechi with his Cousin, Sir Celestine Omehia. Amaechi was Celestine Omehia’s best man in his wedding. They were very close.

Those close to Odili at the time revealed that Odili’s decision to replace Amaechi with his cousin Omehia was so that Amaechi will still be a part of the government somehow.

THE FIGHT-
Amaechi felt betrayed. There were series of meetings and it was obvious Amaechi was not going to back down.

Amaechi’s supporters were known as THE BELIEVERS and the group was ably led by Nyesom Wike (the Chairman of Obio/Akpor LGA - one of the richest LGAs in Nigeria).

THE BELIEVERS had a slogan which was “YES, I BELIEVE”. After several meetings, they decided to go to court to reclaim their mandate. Celestine Omehia later won the general election and became Governor.

Amaechi was no longer Speaker of the State Assembly. Rt. Hon. Tonye Harry (of blessed memory) became the new Speaker. Funding became an issue. Nyesom Wike took charge of the funding of the court cases.

Celestine Omehia was battle ready. A new Governor ready to fight to ensure he remains Governor. Amaechi’s wife and kids had to leave the country because the state had become too hot following the inauguration of Celestine Omehia as Governor.

Nyesom Wike gave out financial support for Amaechi to fly his wife and kids to the United States.
Celestine Omehia saw how battle ready Nyesom Wike was and he decided to cripple him financially by dissolving the Local Government Areas when their tenure was yet to elapse.

That was the only way he could stop Nyesom Wike from funding Amaechi’s court case and fighting back. With the attempted assassinations on Amaechi’s supporters, clashes here and there, Amaechi had to run to Ghana for safety.

Wike stayed back in Rivers State.
In one of his interviews, Wike said he had to disguise in his dressing to avoid traces. He only traveled at night for court cases. Funding became a big problem because he was no longer Chairman of Obio/Akpor LGA.

Nyesom Wike sold his house. His only house to ensure funding was never an issue. Rivers people saw a man take the highest level of risk to ensure they reclaim their mandate.

Amaechi will often call from Ghana and ask his friends, “how is Wike’s face?” “Is he smiling or frowning?” “If he is smiling then everything is okay but if he is not then we should be scared”.

THE MOUTH WATERING OFFERS:
Omehia’s lawyers saw the handwriting on the wall. They knew Amaechi had a good case. They told Omehia to lobby Wike, settle him and ensure Wike withdraws the case.

Nyesom Wike was approached, he was offered millions of Naira and an appointment in Omehia’s government if only he withdrew the case. Your guess is as good as mine lol, WIKE REFUSED.

While Amaechi was in Ghana, Wike ensured that everything humanly possible was done to retrieve the mandate of his friend Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.

THE VICTORY:
After 6 months of legal battle, precisely on the 26th of October 2007, the Supreme Court delivered a landmark judgment.

The Supreme Court sacked Celestine Omehia and declared that Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi was the rightful Candidate of the PDP and should be sworn in as Governor immediately.

Chibuike Amaechi came back from Ghana. There was wild jubilation in the state.
In Amaechi’s thanksgiving, he said after God, the next person he’ll remain eternally grateful to is Nyesom Wike. He didn’t state the reasons in church but those who were part of the struggle understood

You are not saying the truth, Wike was not funding the struggle but was the errand man of the struggle, so your history is distorted.

helinues:
We are not spending dollars in Nigeria.

Ok, let me help you understand, if a state receive 500million then it will buy 2.5million litres pms@200 per litre, but now to get that 2.5m litres the state that received 1 billion will need 2.25billion naira@900 to fuel the same number of cars. Hope you understand it, the same in road construction, diesel and salary, so where is the increase in allocation.

UpaIweka:
You mean when Emefielw was doing round tripping n building 1000 houses in Abuja ba ?!

But OK that is not stealing according to your 1/P/O/B head only Tinubu as been stealing in Nigeria since 1999 or maybe ince 1960.

This is what you see when bigitry hatred envy n jealousy as overwhelmed n ruined a soul, now imagine nearly everyone from the East suffering this delusion. Shame #

Wait until Tinubu completed his tenure, this would have been your response also if he made this statement during Buhari because you are blinded by partisan politics. It was Dasuki in GEJ, Emefiele in Buhari and it will be ? In Tinubu time because the massive looting is ongoing but you can see the same way you did not see it during Buhari.

They are intentional about it, nobody in Nigeria have benefited from this scheme, it is money marked out to settle party men and women.

Sharpsharp00123:
keep quiet there

No where in Nigeria now that they are selling rice above 65k

I can even bring jumia price or any supermarket price for u now.

U are arguing blindly

Liar this is from Jumia

Malt drinks also comes from that brewery, I prefer brewery in all state to this almajiri government that is own giving people rice because it will create multiple layers jobs in the state.

helinues:
Truth should be told the way it is.

GEJ came to Anambra state to commission a beer investment which as at today, it's worth to nothing

That's the same Peter Obi some people have been claiming to do wonders in Anambra state. He couldn't invest in tech, health, education but rather beer. Make Anambra people dey get drunk.

All the lambas that Peter Obi's supporters fed those who are outside SE before the last election have been casted

You are ignorant bro, that brewery is one of the major employers labour in Anambra today, the company is doing perfectly, Soludo is just playing politics, if the company worth nothing let him as the governor build one industry that will employ half of the people working in that brewery. The government house he completed is for him and his family and anyone that will be privileged to become governor. The house will continue to drain Anambra resources every budget year unlike the brewery that contributing to the state revenue. As for you I don't think you have been involved in any business venture in your life, if not you cannot mock an industry and praise governor's lodge.

Difrent:
They care for the country abi
But don't care for their states abi?
Because they can easily run to yorubaland and hide after destroying their region with insecurities
All because you lost an election
And think that Buhari or PBAT will be pained by the insecurities in the east, so you keep killing yourselves in the hope that Buhari will feel bad, baba kuku no send, he keeps sending Phytons to dance on y'all naked bodies .
E go remain like that until una either kill unaselves finish or reason prevails

Childish response, oya go outside and pack sand with your mates.

It means only Obidients care for this country, they are against oppression and bad governance and you are ok with anyhowness.

This is Rivers that Wike will deliver for Tinubu in 2027, hmmm this guy don't know time has changed.

jmoore:
The recent whispers and outright calls for former President Goodluck Jonathan to contest in the 2027 elections are not just laughable—they are a testament to the fact that some Nigerians don't know how to choose a leader.


Since leaving power, Jonathan has been more interested in touring the world and enjoying his retirement than in contributing to national discourse. While Nigeria burns—with terrorists kidnapping schoolchildren, inflation crushing families, and corruption reaching new heights—Jonathan has been conspicuously mute.

If he truly cared about Nigeria, why hasn’t he spoken up, proposed solutions, or even criticized the failures of Tinubu's government? A leader who stays silent in the face of national suffering has no business seeking power again.


The challenges facing Nigeria today require bold, visionary leadership.
Jonathan had his chance. Nigerians should demand new leaders with competence, courage, and a clear agenda.


The call for Jonathan to run in 2027 is not just ridiculous; it is an insult to the intelligence of Nigerians.

Let the dead past bury its dead. Jonathan should remain where he belongs—in the history books, not on the ballot.

Panic mood don set in, for your information the north is going for him just watch as events unfold let APC keep celebrating okwa and sheriff.

LegendHero:
Goodluck Jonathan is now pro-Tinubu. By the time Bayelsa Governor decamp to APC, he will move with all the leadership structure in Bayelsa including Jonathan.

Pre-2023 election, we also heard Jonathan was Buhari anointed secret candidate so all this rumor no dey move anybody.

One thing is sure, no mortal can defeat Asiwaju in 2027 election.

You don't get it once Jonathan unite the coalition people and pick their ticket that is the end of Tinubu administration. The entire SS NC SE is gone with Tinubu loosing ground in NW and NE is game over. I hope Atiku and Obi is the wisdom in Jonathan candidacy.

The failure is obvious even this guys defending the administration here also cry in their closets.

adekolaelect:
can you answer my question sir ? Was Fubara Democratical for all his atrocities in Rivers state?

No, so Fubara is now Tinubu role model, you see Fubara was a desperate man at the point, it is only a tree that will see a man with sharp knife approaching him and still stand. For Mr President who knows the real cause of Rivers State problem and choose to be partisan by supporting his minister to annihilate a state governor. President sums it up it is difficult to wake a man who is pretending to be asleep.

adekolaelect:
which of your Democracy in Rivers where governor Demolish House of assembly and chased away the lawmakers? Na now you are crying of Democracy when power exchanged hands. Dey play

I like your last word de play. It is your turn today enjoy the impunity but at least nobody will tell us about being democrat or fighting for democracy as we now understand while he was fighting, he was jealous of Abacha then not because he value democracy.

yarimo:
Everyone in rivers state is happy and comfortable with the new administrator

You really need your head examined.

tamonokare:
Doing to which democracy? If a state can have a sole administrator, why can't LGA ?

Do you know what would have happened if Tinubu had not intervened? Till today, civil servants would not have been paid their salaries, the stupid governor and the puppet lawmakers would have been playing their cat and rat politics till now.

Intervene by overthrowing democratically elected government and installed a system alien to Nigeria constitution, now the man is now acting military administrator. Mind you Tinubu is patty to Rivers crisis because if really want to stop what was happening in Rivers State he knows what to do not state of emergency.

helinues:
They better don't create nuisance

Make FG no extend the SOE oo

Do you have conscience, are you sure you are human because no sane person will support what this man is doing to our democracy in Rivers State.

Analogue judge in digital time, you don't blame them, their employer like them like that so the can control them. Zero training year in year out.

Accountable to those who handed Rivers resources to you, I can't remember Rivers people trusting their resources to you. You are not known to our constitution.

They have given Sowore reason to go ahead with the protest.

Guestmale:
What do you say about a governor that shut down legislative arm of government.

So the only solution is for your so called democrat to suspend democracy and enthroned what is not known to our constitution. The administrator is a planning to have budget which the only reason he was appointed to share Rivers to insatiable gluttonous politician in Abuja, on what legal framework is he standing to appropriate Rivers money.

Omoyorubatooto:
Sad news for the ipo,bians obidenses aka ponus

See what you are celebrating, you must be evil to support the suspension of democracy by a man who claimed to have fought for democracy what an irony. Let it be known that Tinubu introduced military rule back to our democracy because when it will set eye go clear bonga fish.

helinues:
Based on this statistics even though it was released as at March 2024, it means president Tinubu has serviced more debt than what he borrowed.

He has instead reduced our debt by $1bn

My friend go check how much those Presidents spent on subsidy and fx to make sure people can afford food but this your President dropped all the burden on the people there by inflicting unimaginable hardship on them while buying private jet, yatch and luxury Escalade.
You cannot point one thing the citizens had benefited from the subsidy he removed except building house for VP and Judges in Abuja and the highway to nowhere being handled by his friend.

toffyz:
You guys are funny, 🤣
Are you all kids for God sake?

So if you're asked who's loosing between APC and NATASHA, who would you say?

Smiles

I don't argue with idiots, so fly.

No need for convoy, there is level to this things. This woman has become a bone lodged in APC neck.
