Tonye Cole is right on this... Rivers state is going back to pre 2015 election... Wike is not for peace unless the Presidency call him to order.
Call who to order??
Wikehuh You're joking.


They would bypass him and work with he who holds the structure, the governor of the state.

Don't play

Nigerian Politicians are selfish.
Why will a Governor serve 8 Years and still want to dictate or appoint people to serve under his successor?
I do not support God fatherism.

Wike did well on infrastructure in Rivers without hindrance and should let his successor govern the state in his own capacity so that when he fails, we all see his incompetence.

People supporting Wike would never allow someone dictate for them in their various affairs especially if they are the heads.
Peter Odili didn't Lord over his successor.

Ameachi allowed Wike rule when Wike proved stubborn.

Wike doesn't let things slide and is always very bitter, he is a man who puts personal ambition and interest above the State.

He lost governorship primaries then worked against his own party.
Peter Obi won Wikes LGA in the presidential election and Wike made sure to destroys ballot.

He is willing to go every length to destroy his party if things do not go his way..

That is q very bad character.
As someone that have lived in Rivers State for long now, I use to like him when he was governor but his bitterness is making me think twice about his personality at the moment.

Fubara on the other hand should work even while fighting, you can put things in place going. Don't face fight and forget your duties because I am yet to see what he has done exceptionally so far. I might be wrong. But nothing visible.

If he is facing education or other sectors that aren't visible then let him employ Media to make it loud so people can see. Because at the end, your work will speak for you.

This is my opinion on the ongoing feud.
Do you know the relationship between Peter Odili, Rotimi Amaechi and Nyesom Wike?
Do you not know that Peter Odili could not become a godfather to Rotimi Amaechi likewise Rotimi Amaechi could not become godfather to Nyesom Wike because there are certain issues that brought the later two to become governors and through which she stood and the issue of godfatherism could not even be mentioned. Also the relationship between Gov. Rotimi Amaechi and Wike before he was made CoS cannot be likened to a godfather and godson relationship.

But the process that led to Sim Fubara becoming governor is the only process that anyone could say that would be the beginning of godfatherism in installing a governor but it went bad as a result of things still unclear to the populace.

Those who came to become political weights through the recommendation of certain persons knows these persons and I believe have given them the honor due them.

Let the true narrative be spoken.
PBAT is not a novice in the game and he does and will not align with anyone who does not honor agreements.

I do not know what is Tonye Cole's true intentions in this comments and saying if PBAT wants peace in Rivers State.
Tomorrow the people in Kano who are dethroning and enthroning Emir's will do same thing as if it was PBAT that caused the fights and in fighting.

If they all drop God fatherism and state control and give respect to whom respect is due in their leadership hirachy without selfish interest, hatred or greed, they will be fine as one...

but i fear the heart of man...that why is important that even in the face of peace you must not loose gaurd.

Lagos template will never work in the south south, can't people just get it? South South politics is very individualistic. The people are largely independent-minded. If you like help your biological son to become governor, he is going to demand his freedom sooner or later while in office.

As for Edo State, kindly wait how this incoming administration will shortly put Oshiomhole where he belongs. Meanwhile, Yaya Bello and his son are still enjoying honeymoon. He should enjoy it while it lasts. grin

I am not a Wike fan. Was there not a meeting in Abuja between Tinubu and rivers elders and governor Fubara and the agreed resolution was read by Odili. The governor was accused of not honouring all the agreement between their camps. If Fubara wasn't comfortable in the meeting, he could have hold is ground and be man enough to say the ones he will not honour. He can agree in Abuja and now reach Rivers and did otherwise. That is the genesis of the crisis.

U can't hold a ministerial post, hold structure, and still in charge of finance at a time. U have to chose one. During the ambode era in Lagos, structure was totally hijacked from him and he was left with finance and he misappropriated the Lagos state treasury as he wish, knowingly there was no second term for him.. wike should calm down and go to Tinubu school of Godfatherism to learn more about politics.

What the president did the last he called them was to force a resolution from Wike down Fubara's throat... Good that Fubara implement those resolutions, but for who Wike is, what happened after was his puppets at the state house of assembly coming out that they will impeach the Governor..
Wike is not the type of person you have close around you. All his benefactors are his enemies today.
My brother, the president should drop Wike and anybody from River State in his cabinet. Allow them do their things as usual. If they cross the red line, do the needful

Rivers State does not need 4 people to resolve the crisis. It rather needs the arrest, prosecution, and jail of the mastermind of the crisis, plus his supporter. They should be in real jail, it a phantom one.
On the other hand, Tinubu alone can solve it. He should just sack the mastermind, and allow the law to take its real course.
The state can't know the mastermind, and be talking about more people to resolve it. Someone is perpetrating treasonable acts on Rivers State, and we are treating him with kids gloves.

Eteka1:
If Fubara obeys the Laws and Court Judgements, there won't even be political crisis in Rivers State. Let me give just two examples of how his lawlessness is the root cause of the crisis in Rivers State.

(1) The Court of Appeal ruled in favor of the Martin Amaewhule led 27 members House of Assembly, yet he continues to deal two people (Oko Jumbo and one other) as a house of Assembly. They were 3 of them before Edison Ehie resigned and became his Chief of Staff. He sends the State budgets to these two people to pass (even after the President directed him to present the budget to the proper assembly. He sends names of appointees to these two people for screening etc.

(2) When RISIEC announced the proposed date for LG elections, the APC went to the Federal High Court challenging the conduct of RISIEC in conducting LG elections. They complained of the duration of the notice given to political parties and other issues that they believed is not in accordance to the electoral act. The Court gave judgement stopping the election by directing INEC not to release the CTC of the voters register which is a key requirement, among other directives. Instead of Fubara to appeal against the Court Judgement since it wasn't to his liking, he went ahead to conduct an illegal purported election and now expects the other parties to swallow whatever he has done because he is a governor?

Unfortunately, Obidients and Atikulators are cheering him on while criticizing an innocent Wike whose political associates are vehemently resisting the acts of lawlessness and abuse of power by Fubara. All the criticism of Wike is because Wike supported Tinubu against their preferred candidates.

But right thinking Nigerians cannot be swayed by such infantile propaganda. Fubara should stop acting in a lawless manner and you will see peace in Rivers State.
Please kindly read those court rulings carefully once more...Who obeys court rulings amongst these politicians. Does APC government obey Court ruling? Does PDP obey Court ruling. If this whole thing is based on court rulings as you mentioned then Fubara is also playing the same script and game.

However, Fubara based his actions on the supreme Court ruling with regards to LGA autonomy.

There was another court ruling granted to Falana on behalf of the Fubara led govt to go ahead to conduct the election using the 2023 voters registration that the state electoral body has.

Fubara is playing his politics like a pro.
Re: Only Four People Can Resolve Rivers Political Crisis – APC’s Tonye Cole by IfnobeGod20(m): 6:00pm On Oct 08, 2024
Tonye Cole has just spoken the truth and but the truth. Until those four actors seat down and take decision and direction, the number of deaths that will be witness in 2026 to 2027 will be unprecedented. In 2014 to 2015 it was recorded that minimum of 19 deaths occurred per month. With what is on ground now, we may be heading to a more dangerous than that just because of one man insatiable ambition.

In all this your vituperation in conclusion is all about obidients and Atikulates and not really on common sense.
Now, let me help your ignorance because it is hefty to swim in such ill knowledge.
On the issue of Martin Amaewhule and his 26 recalcitrant lawmakers. In your ignorance you don't know that there are three legs to adjudication in Nigeria and a case is not final until it gets to the supreme court. May be you're not aware that the judgement of the appeal court had been appealed and those the judgement was against has the liberty to enjoy stay of execution till supreme court adjudicate finally on the case. Or are you insinuating that a governor that also lost at the appeal level should vacant his seat, even if he appeals at the highest court?
Meanwhile, you forgot that in the eye of the law those lawmakers are non existence until their case is settled at the courts, hence, even if it is 1 person that remain, he or she becomes a lawful lawmaker, until either those other people regain their seats or INEC conduct new by-election to fill the vacancies. Please stop feigning ignorance of the law because you want to side politicians.

On the second issue. Are you aware that supreme court of the land had mandated all states with no elected officials to conduct election within three months of their judgement? In a serious country where orders are orders, every lower courts should have taken a leap from that judgement and not give any contrary order what what what said by the highest court of the land.
At the side way, the SHC had also given a judgement that the RSIEC should proceed with the election in a case instituted by Femi Falana
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2024/10/08/conflicting-orders-on-rivers-lg-polls-njc-may-summon-justices-lifu-igwe/&ved=2ahUKEwjEzN2Mpv-IAxWZVUEAHYKwBAIQFnoECBMQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1XI3MYgaRUz-0CNf1VXdZV
Meanwhile, a FHC with the same coordinate jurisdiction with SHC gave another order that INEC should not give voters' register and police should not provide security coverage for the election.
Please note the difference. Don't give 2023 voters' register and don't provide security. Meaning the order did not stop the conduct of the election so far the RSIEC says they have with them the 2023 voters' register.
Note this before you argue blindly. RSIEC is not an appendage to INEC. It is not under compulsion that RSIEC should rely on INEC to get voters' register. If you think, it is not so, please kindly provide the section of the law that say so. The RSIEC said they have their voters' register and I don't think any Rivers voter complain of his name missing or he is disenfranchised.

That aside, the rate at which politicians are bastardizing our judiciary, need to be checked. Local government election is a state matter and not federal matter. Any case on local government election suppose to go to SHC and not FHC. So, for the judge to have entertained the case is tantamount to judicial rascality. The judge is aware is not within his jurisdiction and he should have declined it.

You even went beyond your bounds to declare the election illegal when you're not a law court. O ma se o.

My advise, tell Wike to stop shopping for court orders indiscriminately. It wouldn't make him relevant at all. He should face the reality, Rivers State would not tolerate godfatherism and that he knows.

Yes, Tinubu has an empty skull because if he has not, that his initial resolution wouldn't have been one sided. How would a resolution handicap a sitting governor and he favour of Wike. That is the height of insensitive by the President. No father spite one child for the other.
See another provocative presidential release on the same issue yesterday, where he mentioned SIM but scared of mentioning Wike. I don't know if it is out of fear or what?

Wike is a violent man, Peace is not in his language. We forget so easily, he became governor in 2015 by violence using his militant if not a terror group called gdi. Amaechi was wise enough not to stop Wike through same violence because jonathan/mama peace was backing Wike with the federal might else, blood would have flowed in Rivers. Even as Amaechi mellow down the fight, Rivers State was it tagged "Rivers of blood" because of how Wike riggled himself in. Many Corpers who were serving as electoral officers and party agents were shot and killed as they carted ballot boxes away.

It will take God's sovereign intervention for Tinubu to do anything against Wike because, Wike swinged rivers election result for Tinubu using the same GDM. Labour Party won the Presidential election hands down. I am a witness like many others. People were at the poling boot till 8/9 pm while the electoral officers could not open the device to transmit the election result because they were given wrong key/password to unlock the device. People waited and prevailed on the electoral officers before the GDM/thugs and the Police came on that night, pointing guns to people/voters while people picked race and they all left with the election materials and the electoral officers.

Looking at the people that surrounds Tinubu and the kind of people he embraces or welcomed around him will suggest the kind of personality he is. He is ready to allow Nigeria to burn than for him to loose that seat. Tinubu is never a candidate that will work for Wike/Fubara reconciliation.

The rate at which some of you give life to godfatherism is out of this world. Wike will not be the first to help someone and he will not be the last. Many have helped people and they don't showcase the type of madness Wike is showing.
