You can not beat Wike at this game.

I guess the governor and his coterie of bad advisers did not see this coming. They have been boasting that they will conduct the LGA election no matter what may. Now see how Wike crashed their dreams.

For those that do not know, these resignations (and I hear that there will be more) mean that RSIEC is now not properly constituted. Those who resigned have to be replaced before they can organise an election and all nominations as commissioners of RSIEC have to be screened and cleared by the House of Assembly. Now use your tongue and count your teeth.

The fact is that Governor Sim is like a dog who, being painted with stripes, thinks himself a tiger and challenges the lion to a duel. A more astute politician would have lobbied these Assembly members to his side. This I have advocated on this platform several times and as far back as 2023. But he allowed himself to be deceived by Falana, Ugochinyere and co.

Henix:
I actually don't see how he would have done that, going with the way Wike planned everything from the onset. Those assembly guys seem to be totally committed to Wike by something. It would have been advisable for Sim to lay low and finish his 1st tenure before taking up this fight, not like he didn't know what he was going into when he accepted the governorship offer from Wike.

Let's see how the battle ends. I think what they will continue doing is to frustrate the governor, to ensure that he doesn't achieve a good developmental record.

Impeachment might throw up tribal crises in the state because if the governor and his deputy are impeached, the speaker being an Ikwere man is the next to take over, which will not go down well with Ijaw who has been feeling cheated in the state before now.

The former governor really wants to replicate Lagos state politics in Rivers state, but time will tell whether he will succeed or not

AguluLiar:
Our Mkpurumini bloda is invoking war on Rivers state, just because his Mkpurumini region is the unsafest in Nigeria

chatinent:
I'm not interested in stupid discussions with foolish people, please. Take care.

Fuckyoumod:
The names means you should come and take over Rivers State and chase the owners of Rivers State away so you can have their oil, gas and lands.

The name means you own Rivers State!

Do you know the chibuike Amaechi has Rotimi as his name too? Why are the Yoruba's not claiming to own Rivers State?

jordyspices:
Fubara is just lilly livered if him like make him no shine him eye

id4sho:
Fubara should chase the house of assembly members just like Ayo Fayose out of the state 🤷

ddippset:
He is not Lilly livered.

If you ask me, he has fought very gallantly so far..

Who survives a fight against 27 assembly members and the Federal might?

The police don't even take orders from Fubara, they take orders from Wike and Abuja..

Remove Tinubu from this equation and see how powerless Wike is.
(Anyone who thinks Tinubu's hand is not in this is a fool)


This is not Muhammadu Buhari the clueless, docile, weak President...

It was only during Buhari's time that some opposition governors were undermining him and insulting him while he was reciprocating by giving them awards.
Only during Muhammadu Buhari that his nephews were losing common primary elections in Katsina.

Only a Muhammadu Buhari would do that.

All those things Wike got away with , does anyone think he would have dared them if Tinubu or Obasanjo was in power?

Lol.

hassinho707:
Bro I support everything that you said, but I don't like you insulting Buhari like this... I think He is just a simple person. One funny thing is that he is not even aware of many things happening in his government.

unitysheart:
The governor will now have to nominate fresh persons to fill the vacancies and they must be approved by the house.

mach7:
Wike at work.

On a side note, I expect political appointees including the commissioners and board chairmen to start resigning.

You can't build something on nothing. In the eyes of the law, none of them were duly appointed to the positions that they occupy as they weren't screened by the House of Assembly.

Furthermore, if the Assembly decide to be harsh, they report them to ICPC and EFCC for receiving illegal salaries and emoluments.

Na wa for Rivers State.

fuckingAyaya:
He was named
Rotimi because his father wanted
him to be a lawyer like late legal
icon,Chief FRA Williams, SAN. Wetin concern yoruba with Rivers state?

I want to ask please. Many Rivers people bear Chibuike, Emenike etc., and other names most Igbos bear. I am yearning to know if the names mean the same thing as it does in Igbo or does it mean sth else?

For example, Chibuike means God is my stronghold/strength, I guess. Does it mean the same thing in Rivers?

Zico5:
Wike will surely see the war he is calling for. Thank God Niger delta militants are already on rampage. Tinubu is the unwise one here. I know he will soon abandon Wike when the polity is too hot. Ijaw are not the type that will cow down easily. They will make sure their demand is met. Even if federal government declare state of emergency, that's where the real war will begin.

hatchy:
Tribal bigoted idiots with their supremacist ideology won't rest until he finds what he is looking for in this thread.
You Igbos won't leave Ikwerre people alone and face your region. You people have caused enough trouble in this country, yet you don't want to stop.
Your people planned and executed a coup and killed all other regional Premiers, politicians and top military officers, but non from your region, yet you deny that it isn't Igbo coup.

You are the most hated tribe in Nigeria because of this attitude of yours always wanting to over run other tribes.

BondRiv:
Notorious unity beggars, leave Ikwerre people alone. It is not by force. Haba! Dem curse una?

Mrexcell:
It's the same meaning those bearing those igbo names are actually igbos but it's biafra war and oil politics that divided them from igbos from the 5 eastern states.

Fuckyoumod:
so why always make Rivers State your concern?

BondRiv:
Coconut head. Instead of you to tell the governor to obey our laws, you are rambling to your doom. No one is forcing him to be the governor, he can resign at any time. However, if he wants to remain there, he MUST obey the constitution of Nigeria.

Eleph:
Rivers State can explode anytime going by the recent events. The people seem to be with the governor while the Federal government seem hellbent in taking the State at all costs.

You guys are endemically petty. I pray for you all to have growth
