[quote author=CapitalLens post=133855795][/quote]While Fubara would be commissioning 75km road dualized with street lights, culverts and bridges. Wike can never work more than 5km roads, that was what David unmahi told him when he was governor.
simeonabio: He is even diplomatic for now, He can say America should drill her own oil, and stop buying therefore reducing demand for crude oil, which invertibly crash the price if OPEC refuses.
Asquare84: Wike again, this man is a genius, instead of gov fubara to lie down low and learn the treaks of how wike is achieving this success, he will be fighting wike . Today, wike is an achiever while gov fubara have not achieved any meaningful developments for River people.
This is were you people get it wrong Fubara is not the one fighting Wike but the other way round, what does he stand to gain fighting Wike, Wike is the one that has everything to loose that is why he's fighting, he should focus on his duty in Abuja and build roads for them since that your understanding of development, the health system and educational system is suffering all he does is construction of foot path, don't you go to other cities and see what they call roads. A beg make una go rest.
vanitybutiwanti: who told you 27 lawmakers are jobless igbo man? 27 lawmakers will buy you and everyone in your clan with or without salaries. You know nothing about Rivers state, you're a meddlesome interloper sticking his nose in places that doesn't concern him, wike will still produce the senator in his district and all the National Assembly members( consisting of 7 LGAs).
27 lawmakers that are contractors for NDDC and FCT will go hungry? You're very funny igbo man
Since you've decided to pick an interest in Rivers state, sit back and watch, you will learn a lesson in 2027
All your comments are being framed to be sent back to you after 2027, because you go learn.
powerkey: Idiots who can't go to court in their home countries will have the temerity to sue a president. Deport all of them to their Islamic countries.
That your uncle you asked for house rent for is among those to be depoted when it starts, get small sense that those that live in glass houses don't throw stones. If he is depoted be sure you will find yourself and 4 children on the streets
vanitybutiwanti: Igbo man from Abia I hope you will come out to fight for sim in 2027, igbo man who doesn't know how sim was made governor and who just started following Rivers election keenly in 2024 because sim is fighting a man they hate is telling me that I don't know wassup? The irony . You think all the people hailing sim will risk their lives for him in 2027
But those hailing Wike will risk their lives for him like the jobless 27 lawmakers that are already going hungry and can't even afford to do the fees of their wards, let's test and see how many will be with Wike by 2027
vanitybutiwanti: igbo man from Abia state, its not up to you, you don't even know how fubara was made governor, you were not part of the process and you were not at the collation center were the final result was announced, if BAT no fall wike hands, its very easy to remove sim, ordinary LGA election, sim no sleep for one week.
A boy go rest you don't know what is up, Sim 8yrs go complete
vanitybutiwanti: Let's break down the key players involved in the meeting between the President, the Minister and Fubara. It's clear that the meeting aimed to inform Ogoni stakeholders about the Federal Government's plan to resume oil exploration in their area.
On Governor Fubara's side, former Senator Lee Maeba was present, which is notable since Maeba didn't support or campaign for Fubara during his election. On the other hand, the Minister's team included several prominent figures, such as:
- *Former Senators*: Magnus Abe, Olaka Nwogu - *Current APC National Vice Chairman (SS)*: Victor Giadom - *Senate Committee Chairs*: Senator Barry Mpigi (Chairman, Senate Committee on Works and Vice Chairman, Senate Committee on Host Communities) - *Former Minister*: Kenneth Kobani - *Other notable figures*: Chief Ejoor, Hon. Marcus Nnleji, and Honourable Fred Kpakol
Interestingly, the Ogoni elites seem to be rallying behind the FCT Minister, likely due to their ambition to secure the governorship seat in 2027. Given that they form the largest bloc in the governor's senatorial district, it's possible that if Fubara is removed, his replacement might come from the same district. Definitely, interesting times ahead.
A boy go rest Fubara 8 yrs go complete forget all this nonsense you de talk.
gare: The Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, presided over by Justice Emmanuel Obile, has delivered a ruling on applications in Suit No: FHC/PHC/CS/25/2024, brought by the Labour Party (LP) against the Rivers State House of Assembly and others. The suit seeks to declare the seats of 27 lawmakers, who allegedly defected from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), vacant.
During the ruling on January 21, 2025, Justice Obile rejected the applications by the 1st defendant (Rivers State House of Assembly), 2nd–28th defendants (27 lawmakers), and 29th defendant (PDP), which sought the court’s permission to call oral evidence and file pleadings. The judge held that the defendants failed to establish any conflict in the facts contained in the affidavits before the court to warrant granting the applications.
However, in a partial concession under Order 27(1) of the Federal High Court Rules, 2019, Justice Obile permitted the cross-examination of deponents to the affidavits supporting the amended originating summons and the counter-affidavits filed by the defendants.
Given the inability of counsels to agree on a hearing date, the court fixed March 11, 2025, for the hearing of the amended originating summons.
The Labour Party, through its caretaker chairperson in Rivers State, Hilda Dokubo, filed the suit seeking to compel the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct by-elections to fill the allegedly vacant seats, allowing the LP and other parties to participate.
Counsel for the claimant, Clifford Chukwu, emphasized that the lawmakers had publicly announced their defection on various media platforms, including Channels Television and TVC, and even deposed to affidavits confirming the move. He argued that their actions constituted a voluntary relinquishment of their seats under the law.
On the other hand, counsel for the defendants, including senior advocates Ferdinand Orbih (SAN) and J. Musa, argued for the court to allow pleadings and oral evidence, stating that the issues were contentious and could not be resolved based on affidavits alone.
In a separate but related case, Justice Obile had earlier adjourned to December 7, 2024, to hear a matter filed by Victor Oko-Jumbo and three other assembly members loyal to Governor Siminalayi Fubara. They also seek to declare the seats of the 27 lawmakers vacant and prevent them from parading as members of the Rivers State House of Assembly.
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has downplayed the possibility of resolving his conflict with Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State.
Wike criticised Fubara and his camp for refusing to carry out the directive issued by President Bola Tinubu during the peace meeting he convened.
He noted that Fubara and his supporters should have returned to Tinubu to explain their inability to implement all the directives issued by the president.
Wike made this disclosure during a media briefing in Abuja on Sunday.
Wike and Fubara have been at loggerheads since Fubara became governor.
The face-off between the two stems from a struggle for control of the state’s political and structural resources.
The rift has also affected the state House of Assembly, with 27 members defecting to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Furthermore, the conflict has led to the emergence of factional speakers and a parallel assembly.
At the press briefing, Wike said:
“I’m wondering, what conflict to resolve? Mr President, in his wisdom, called all parties. He said withdraw the impeachment notice, you go and do this, you go and do that, but they never returned to him.
“The Assembly withdrew the impeachment notice; you did one and two, and then you sent people to go to court. Elder, have you gone back to Mr President to tell him we can’t do three and four? Nothing.
“I have never seen this in my life — for a president to call parties, and one party goes back and says it’s political. Who does that?”
All this media chats is actually for what? He is not talking about his plans for the FCT , na Rivers State matter he keeps drooling about. He has lost, he should focus on his FCT and leave Rivers State politics.
BlessedGift: The Pro-Nyesom Wike Rivers State House of Assembly, led by Martin Amaewhule, paid a solidarity visit to the Chukwuemeka Aaron-led Rivers State Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP).
Jorussia: This Rivers political crisis is turning something of an amusement to me.I have now come to a sad conclusion that The political advisers of the governor are indeed neophytes and tiros.
I have never seen a situation where a state High court judgement is taken as one big deal and flooding the media with unfounded noises.You think Wike as a corrupt former governor cares about a state High court?a court that is under the absolute control of governors.I have said it before here and I am saying it again that fubara should pray PBAT failures woefully and Nigerians reject him in 2027 that's his only way of surviving this political battle.
Abeg Fubara dey vex me nor be small,that guy doesn't how to be governor.I can bet anything that by now fubara would have been in a better position politically if he had not listened to failed politicians in Rivers and Ijaw leaders who kept telling the governor to take the path of lawmakers defection.By now,he would have had at least 50% of the lawmakers on his side,if he had allow them continue as one house.look Edo State, the PDP still has majority in the house and yet the APC governor has gotten approved there.The money he has wasting on people like ugochinyere and others is more than enough to buy majority of the lawmakers over.
Go and rest a beg what do you understand go and check the functions of a state high Court and that of a federal high Court before you come here and comment on what is bigger than you
Yerimo is out there crying this year did not start well for him the back to back, now this is a federal high Court, though still not have the jurisdiction to this case
seunmsg: What is wrong with a Yoruba man becoming the INEC chairman? Since 1999, almost all regions have produced the INEC chairman except the South West. Once Yakubu’s tenure ends in December this year, it’s only fair and equitable that a Yoruba man should take over as INEC chairman.
Who mentioned Yoruba man here, is everything in this country centered around the Yorubas don't we have other tribes, the position that they're appointed in are they presently doing well? A beg go rest you're a confirmed tribal bigot .
stuffs2002: You well so? What exactly are you blabbing about? Point out a single useless judgement that you know The judiciary passes judgement based on the merit of the arguments.
Which merits of which arguments, cases they should never have entertained in the first place, have you ever heard of jurisdiction, all Rivers State cases have no business in the federal high Court in Abuja, if you must know nothing like merits or demerits.
yarimo: Senator Samuel anyawu is PDP authentic national secretary, anyone that is not comfortable with can hug transformer with full power supply immediately.
When supreme Court gives its verdict, na you transformer go first attreact to hug no worries
stuffs2002: So in your deluded mind, the Supreme court will judge a case to always favour their own past members. Isn't there supposed to be justice in the Judiciary anymore?
Ok so you are the first to be caught in the trap, so when the other side got useless judgement you all celebrated, rain doesn't fall in one house alone the other side will certainly collect. Now is morning.
N126bn to conduct a useless election? The government should just share the funds and let the current elected officials continue there's no need for any elections of our votes don't count
Urgent1Million: I hope these guys will have money to pay their rent when it's time. Cos last I heard, they are still living in the state assembly quarters.
They will be kicked out soon. Some of them are sending people to go and beg the governor, that Wike deceived them and in 6 months no stipend for them.
