Aside from police and all federal security agencies that are not with SIM, all other arms are fully with SIM for now.

Please can you list those impeachable offences he has commented?
All amaewhule and co need is backing from Abuja and you would see Sim crying like a baby......Wike is doing his best to make the powers that be see fubara as the bad person and trust me fubara is playing the script.

IfnobeGod20:
If I may ask, is SIM an appendage of Mr. President, that he has to defer to him if he has issue with Wike? That would be senseless if he has to submit his government to outsiders because of one man. In Wike's 8 years reign, did he allow any person to exert on his government for any reason? The way you're seeing Wike as a mini god that must be pacify at all cost, it doesn't worth it. A single man should not be the determinant of what happened in a state, it makes no sense at all.

Even at that Mr. President intervention was one sided. All his intervention were in favour of Wike and that SIM still bow to the pressure and yielded to some of the interventions.
It was the insatiable thirst of Wike that escalated the whole thing. Wike doesn't want to let go of Rivers State structure because he want to be seen as the alpha and the omega of the state, so that he will be called Jagaban of Rivers State. He wants to equal himself with Tinubu but he doesn't know that Tinubu was tact to have had control over Lagos State and not do the gragra Wike was doing.
That aside, there are state that would not favour godfatherism and Rivers State is one of them and Wike knows this. He should have known that it would be very difficult for him to take control of the state like that.
Fubara isn't an appendage of the president but the kind of system we run in Nigeria,the president has a lot of powers you wouldn't want to be used against you,it's quite unfortunate but it is what it is.....obj did it to fayose and dariye,GEJ to Nyarko and amaechi,Buhari to ihedioha and fayose again,just recently tinubu to obaseki.

Everyman worth his salt must keep to agreements,if fubara hadn't agreed and struck a deal with Wike there was no way he could have made it to bridge house.....yes I am kin to agree that Wike can be downright outlandish in his demands on the governor considering his personality but fubara should have been going about it quietly till he gets a foothold in the state.

Mr president son, how did he spat on everyone faces, why did wike bent on frustrating his governance, is that how ameachi frustrate wike when he was there...why is it difficult for your president to caution wike and allow fubara to run his administration as he pleases...una just like to defend rubbish
High wire politics of this nature requires tact and intelligence,it's not like your village meeting where you shout and chest beat to proof your mettle.

When the impeachment brouhaha started,the president told them to sheath their swords and allow status quo remain,he told them to leave fubara to govern and those who resigned as commissioners should go back but what did fubara do immediately he got back to PH,he deliberately started undermining Wike by making moves directed at removing his structures,same structure that made him gov.

Rather than defer to the president if he had any issues with Wike,he kept his distance and decided to go it alone.

The presidency cannot determine of Fubara will stay as governor or not. Please how would presidency determine his stays? Are they going to kill him or what? Or what are they going to do? The only option left to remove Fubara is through impeachment and it won't be possible to impeach him now, even if the 27 recalcitrant lawmakers are reinstated to the assembly because impeachment is not a tea party. They cannot just wake up and say they have impeached the governor, that would be senseless and against the he law and the governor won't obey it. There are route to impeaching governor or president. They must first send impeachment notice to the governor and later send the impeachment notice to the attorney general of the state to constitute impeachment panel.
You know what? The Attorney General of the state is at the armpit of the governor and he will be the one to choose who and who to be among the panel. If you think such man will chose governor's enemy to be among the panel, then, you're deceiving yourself. The panel will just be a jamboree panel at the end.
The best option left for anyone now is to wait for 2027 to exert their power through ballot but at that time, SIM structure might have swallowed Wike's structure and to rig may be very difficult. I am even foreseen Wike been expell from PDP soon when the heat is much or when a new PDP national chairman is voted in.
It's the chief judge that would be directed to constitute the panel ,the AG has nothing to do with it.

There are several impeachable offences fubara has already committed hope you know.

If you reside in PH or any where in Rivers, you LL know that this election is the calmest and most peaceful ever.. No police, no noise.. Just go and vote..

Meanwhile, your allegiance ought to be based on worthy attributes and not to lawless nonentities nor for the highest bidder...
I am not from rivers state but I won't fail to be on the side of reason ....fubara needs to err on the side of caution,the way he is going about this isn't in his best interest,you can't fight everyone you think his friends with Wike.

You need tact and intelligence to win this and not chest beating and insults,I personally do not see any reason why LG elections shouldn't hold.

The situation on ground in Rivers state is totally different. Obaseki had some LG chairmen, but obaseki does not have the people overwhelmingly, Obaseki does not have political heavy weights in edo on his side, Obaseki does not have all the political thugs on his side, political jobbers have not too much incentives to align with Obaseki because he is not the one that will shake the cake in the next 4 years, the president does not really have so much to lose in Edo State.

In Rivers case, Fubara has the overwhelming support of the people, the godfathers, the thugs, the political jobbers and even the militants, which is where the presidency is also being careful, because the presidency also needs some vote from Rivers come 2027. Lots of Forces against Wike in Rivers, the only thing he has is the alignment with presidency, unfortunately the presidency cannot wield that power too much
I keep telling those who care to listen.....even all this you mentioned are not sufficient to keep fubara on that seat......it's unfortunate the type of system we run but the presidency would go a long way in determining if fubara stays or goes,that's why we are saying fubara doesn't seem to be playing his cards right,you need Abuja whether you like it or not,his greatest undoing was not getting the majority state house of assembly members to his side,those guys hold the death knell.

Fubara's case will be determined in a room and not on the streets.....he is already proving to being an unstable character.

Fubara's plan is to use the APP party to win all the LG seats, then later they will defect to PDP. With this plan, Wike is a goner

phantom:
But idiots think he fell from heaven.. 😂

Even way before this .. he was recommended by the same Senator Mbata he's quarrelling with today to Peter Odili for Local Govt Chairman.


PS: Little kids who don't live in Rivers state are trying to rewrite history... those of us born and bred there will sit down and listen to you spew nonsense 😂..
Now listen or read...

1. Wike was recommended by Senator Mbata to Odili for LG chairman obio akpor and Mary Odili took him as a son... her pet project to make sure he became chairman. That's the same woman he's abusing today.

2. Amaechi made him his chief of staff which was well deserved considering the role Wike played in helping the former reclaim his mandate at the courts after the whole OBJ 'K-leg' brouhaha

3.Amaechi recommended him for minister when he was becoming too over bearing in Rivers state. He was so notorious that he could stop Amaechis convoy so that he could sign any document he wanted. He was and still is a rascal.

4. He didn't want to leave RS for FCT to be minister because he was nursing a governorship ambition and was unhappy with that recommendation. He capitalised on the beef between amaechi and the Jonathans at the time to further his ambition and warm his way into PEJ heart leading to the events of the video you watched up there.


At every step of his career, he was helped by someone... Funny thing is, EVERYONE who has helped the charlatan, he has fallen out with.. EVERYONE.. no exceptions!

Thats the idiot that is talking about loyalty and gratitude today... 😂

On a serious note , we need to check the mans sanity.. we may think hes just a stubborn, bold individual meanwhile the fellow could be suffering from straight up schizophrenia or Bipolar Disorder. He doesn't talk like a sane individual.
He is still in GEJ's good books and mama peace ,he served them well and delivered when they needed him same for odili and his wife......his falling out with amaechi was because amaechi reneged on his promise to make him gov after him.

So what Fubara is saying is true after all.
You have a court order that says police should not participate in the election which you claim to be obeying and at the same time you want to go and provide security to RIEC.
Is this not laughable grin
How do you reason like this,even if you are bias you should be reasonable about it. RSIEC Hq is a major place of concern while this imbroglio lasts and it needs to be protected.....bad elements could mobilise and destroy it even burn down the place,this isn't same as election.

This has been Taiwo Oyedele's arguments for years.

All those customs officials are meant to protect boarders and prevent smuggling but what we have is they are in charge of money with pot bellies everywhere.

You need to see how rich those customs guys are,being a customs officer is far more lucrative than being a soldier or police officer.

No doubt wisdom is the principal thing and is truly profitable to direct but in politics if you don't take ground early, your opposing player will have it all and you will be left with carcass. This is why Ambode could not could win his godfather because the structure that suppose to give him the hedge wasn't with him but his godfather and he lost it all. Political structure is the live wire of politics, they use it to do and undo. That's why it is always very difficult for parties with no structure to have head way because the one with structure will always use their presence to outrig the election. Do you think Wike's camp are also finding it easy, that is why they are shopping up and down for court orders and and doing matching protests like primary school pupils. They all know the importance of having the structure to themselves. But thankfully SIM was wise, he caught them unaware and went for another party to built his own structure and left them in political limbo.
Which structure? APP,that was what they wanted,for him to leave PDP .....hope you are already aware of the trouble all ready brewing in the same APP to factionalise then as they have done LP.

Wike still owns the structure and all fubara has is the power his office holds which he is using albeit derogatively......he has now declared war on everyone who he sees as wike's friends even those not necessarily against him but the mere fact they are wike's friends they are his enemies......wike doesnt have much to loose if rivers degenerate into full blown crisis and becomes ungovernable,fubara on the other hand has all to loose.......the removal of fubara would be done in a room and not on the streets of rivers.....you need Abuja at this time to at least help you even the contest but you are already overtly antagonistic of the same people who can help you.

This is not how national awards are done. National awards are for recognizing people's special achievements in professions like science, art, etc. But in Nigeria, they are mostly used to recognise political positions.
I doubt this news is true.....you can only award 2 GCON titles a year and the SP and CJN already got for this year......the only other option is for the speaker to wait till next year,pure and simple.

It was all in the interest of an agenda by a region of the country to forcefully superintend themselves over the rest of the country which they were beaten to by those who came after them.....he could have simply restored what was left of our nascent parliamentary democracy.
