Because leaders from other regions were killed except the Igbo leaders.

And eventually after the coup, it was an Igbo man , Aguiyi Ironsi who benefited from the coup.

So it's Igbo's coup

It be like some of una missed history class in secondary school

ZIAZI:
I no know your problem for Rivers State matter.
We are deluded abi? Is it your delusion?

Why not steer the phock out of our business?
The Ekpeyes and Ogbas bear similar names like the Ikwerres, but you barely say they are Igbos.

What am I saying? They've distanced themselves from the cooked-up lies you tell yourself.

Can you even tell me the history of the Ikwerre people including how they allegedly came out of Igboland? If you cannot share same, then get the phock out of our business.

ZIAZI:
Shey you just 1 talk? I am an Ikwerre man and I know for a fact that there is nothing like "Ezewuwo" in Ikwerre language.

What do you know about your Igbo ancestry? I presume you think you're a Jew too.

ZIAZI:
Loopholes just full this story. The alleged dynamite was for what exactly? To kill the number of persons protecting alongside him? Was it to cause tension?

flokii:
There are many ways for conflict resolution.. diplomacy is one very potent way with less damage done.

From reliable source, Wike actually brought the guy up and imposed him on Rivers PDP.. he didn't have the connections or that political sagacity to contest for Governorship seat in Rivers State, it's all thanks to Wike that he is on that seat he is in today.

Whatever might have caused the quarrel can be discussed in closed door roundtable meeting with royal fathers, youths representatives and elders in Rivers State present. Then they'll both have the floor to express their minds and say things from their various perspectives for those present to reconcile them.

It's only those who don't know what 'Federal might' is that will think Fubara can drag shoulder with his predecessor who is now in the Federal caucus. Yorubas are not like that o, don't know why Rivers people are happy taking sides while two of their leaders fight dirty.

Otapiapia is working

A middle-aged protester among the pro-Wike group on Tuesday was reportedly killed by an explosion he was alleged to be carrying while in a protest in Port Harcourt.

The incident which caused pandamonium was said to have happened in front of Hotel Presidential in the heart of Port Harcourt while the victim was trying to discharge the dynamite.

The victim, whose identity is yet to be confirmed was among protesters mobilised by top political leaders from the different wards of Obio/Akpor showed their solidarity for the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike in a protest march.

The 23 former local government chairmen have mobilised their supporters to protest the continued occupation by the different local government secretariats following the disagreement emanating between them and the Rivers State government over the expiration of their tenure and the appointment of caretaker committee to replace them.

An eyewitness account, the corpse of the victim was taken away hurriedly as security agents trooped to the location where the incident occurred.

The eye witness who refused to give his name for security reasons said the procession was led by Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Ogundu Chinda, Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Martin Amaewhule, and former Council Chairman, George Ariolu.

The procession is the Obio/Akpor Local Government version as similar processions had been held in the Port Harcourt City and Ikwerre local government areas with similar messages to the police.

The Obio/Akpor protesters later converged at the Rumueme Civic Center in Port Harcourt, where they demanded that the Inspector General of Police, continued to occupy the councils and not succumb to any form of intimidation.

They openly expressed their support for the Minister of the FCT Wike.

While addressing the crowd, outgone chairman of Obio/Akpor Local Government Area, George Ariolu said they were in support of peace and order in the state.

He said, “As the governor said, there is no sacrifice too much for peace. But there is no peace without justice. You must govern by the rule of law. Therefore, we are in support of governance by law not by discretion, not by impunity.

“Rivers is a state that complies with law and order. We are in support of the position of the Nigerian police. The inspector general under President Tinubu, has the right to bring peace to Rivers State, even when there are provocative actions that could lead to the breakdown of law and order.

“And so for us, we want to encourage the inspector general and his men, to continue to bring peace and order to Rivers state.
We want to call on all, to abide by the rule of law. Let public office holders understand that they must obey the law and order. And as a people, we are taking a peaceful walk of the local government this morning, to talk to the people, and to demonstrate our support for peace and order.”

It was the same message that his counter part in Ikwerre local government area, Samuel Nwanosike lead his own supporters to give the Area Commander of the police with his team at the council secretariat at Isiokpo.

He was seen addressing the police and the crowd encouraging the police to maintain their occupation of the secretariats as he claimed the his tenure as the chairman of the council still has a little above 5 months to expire having been extended according to him by the Amaewhule-led state house of assembly.

Meanwhile, the reaction of the Rivers State police command to the explosion was being awaited as at the time of filing this report.

The PPRO, Grace Iringe-Koko was yet to respond to inquiries from our reporter in Rivers State.

flokii:
No worry.. 'Operation calm waters' loading for Rivers people. The ungrateful Fubara go know wetin hit am soon.

flokii:
With the way Fubara is going with his style of politics, clashing with all those he perceives as enemy, the President won't have any other option than to declare State of Emergency in Rivers State and remove him.
Wisdom they say is profitable to lead, but seems some see themselves as being too big to fall.

Confirmedzombie:
Aware gave wike a bloody nose but never won any LGA.

Aware was supported by Amaechi faction of APC then.

mrksquare:
The word ingrate has become trite amongst pro-Wike supporters. They make it look as if Wike fell from the sky and became local government chairman, COS, Minister and governor without any assistance from any quarter.

Confirmedzombie:
2019 was awoof for wike. APC did participate in the elections.

Those parties that participated had no structure

Gerhards:
Wow, what a wishful thinking

Confirmedzombie:
Wike won with the backing of GEJ and mama peace.

Without the federal might no way wike could have won Amaechi and his candidate.

I'm wasting my time responding self

Confirmedzombie:
I'm telling you. The way they hype SIM baffles me.

There is no way SIM can win this fight without Aso Rock backing

As SIM have supporters on Rivers state, same way Wike and his team have supporters.

I don't know why they keep hyping SIM rather than continue to push for peace

senatordave1:
Wike likewise will empty the fct treasury but you see,there are some allies you can't buy

Frankiss44:
You don't even have an idea of the Men appointed as CTC at every local government area especially in Obio Akpor and Ikwerre.. You think say na beans for Wike statue to come down right there at Obio Akpor secretariat? Don't even compare this scenario with that of Ameachi unless u are not on ground right here.. Ameachi was seen as a traitor, a man who sold his brother out to bring in Buhari so the street were already against him, Wike rode on that wave

senatordave1:
There too many but the only strong man I see with fubara is Evans bipi and ihinwo

senatordave1:
Majority of the juggernauts in rivers are still with wike

kedeojo:
Leave them to their ways. I don't support wike and his group because some of us has been calling out wike's dictatorial behavior when he was governor but most of the Obidients on this platform, always support him because they were on the same page against Apc and Buhari. Today he is not their favourite cos he didn't support their choice of president. Wike always influence judgement then using federal powers and he will also do same now with federal powers. His group will definitely win cos someone like Wike fight to finish. I don't know how some people reason here honestly. You supported wike's impunity as governor then and you are condemning him now, because you people are not on same page politically with him. Stop this nzogbu nzogbu politics cos it make you people look stupid in the eyes of others. I don't like Wike up till now cos is a very desperate politician but will not condemned him about the power tussle in rivers. If sim win the battle I would genuinely like but I will not take side cos some of you has no moral right to question Wike, the same person you supported back then. If wike has supported Obi, even if he didn't win by now you people will be calling Fubara ingrate and all manners of name. Sanusi comes in mind. You all know how you people call him unprintable names just because he alerted Nigerians about missing huge amount the nnpc could not account for. Nigerian economy started witnessing downtown and some state couldn't pay salary under Jonathan but when Buhari came he failed to stabilize it by his bad policies.There is no way we could have substain the subsidy and that was why the three major candidates said if they win, they will remove subsidy immediately. Some of us here are not partisan but a concern Nigeria who will speak truth all the time. I don't have any political party membership card but support candidate based on my conviction and not with sentiment. Our current deputy governor, we voted for him as a house of rep last year because we were fed up with the incumbent and some pdp and Apc members worked against their candidate but the Apc man just used his loyalties to cause unleash terror in a ward with voters of the current DG and it was cancelled. That gave him another return ticket but even the DG has now join Obaseki who he criticize so much of neglecting our constituency. Today I am supporting the Apc man for governor because Obaseki is so elequent in English and one of the most governors but he is not elequent in performance and they are telling us that his candidate is more elequent, is that not a disaster waiting for us. Senator Okpeboho is know to be a philanthropist and a grassroot man over the years and he knows the people's need because he has demonstrated it in the past by bringing succor to his senatorial district. Today is popularity is soaring everyday because people can see hope and when ask any questions, he gives frank answers. Asue was asked by some option leaders in my LGA about development. He lied by saying he will create LCDA only for us. So you will tell all the members of assembly who comes from another constituency and LG that you want to create and LCDA in just one LGA out of 18. When Okpeboho was asked he said is not possible but he will rather attract development.

Jamesversion1:
Oh here you are. I no go post your pics no fear. You don cry out.

But why you been dey form say you no know Azeez betting shop for Rumuokoro, that upstairs wey you dey go regularly back in the days.

Jamesversion1:
No proof of claims. I had expected Sim to come forward and tell Riverians the excesses of Wike. All we've heard are side talks. A Governor who cannot be bold to say what his godfathers demands of him.

Moreover, any political contracts and considerations Sim accepted to before Wike picked him should as a matter of integrity be adhered to. Afterall, he is aiming for 8years as governor, he should have allowed the first 4 years as per agreement.

Except on sharing of Rivers commonwealth, Sim should have kept his side of the bargain for this first term.

Sim is a looter like Wike. He is just an upcoming looter who would become a serial looter soon.

ddippset:
Common let's use common sense here..

You think party membership register is something you wake up and clean everyday like a kindergarten classroom board?

Political parties do register update from time to time and I assure you it it not everyday.

When a person defects their name remains in the register until the next register update which could even be 6 months later.

So stop trying to prove anything with these your half facts.

And stop saying "they never defected"
Cus you're not 'talking' to kids here.

It will be better you just say, they defected but they will try to wriggle their way out with the help of the compromised PDP.

Was it not the same PDP that was shouting in the early days that the 27 lawmakers had ceased to be their members and called on INEC to conduct elections to fill the vacant seats?

Until Wike and the 27 realized that they were going to lose the case and made a u turn and started making a deal with Damagun?

We are not children here..

Only the compromised judiciary we have in this country can save those 27 lawmakers...
