Racoon:
Let them continue to hibinate till the end of time. The bastardised judiciary have given them the leeway to continue their impunity and lawlessness. Their waterloo is nearer than anticipated.
Yes, because Judiciary said 4 is not greater than 27.

Cry well well

Under public sector accounting, the governor has the power to spend money, but he can't go beyond the budget of the previous year.

I don’t support godfatherism, but if Fubara was truly against it, why align with a godfather in the first place only to turn around and play games later? That’s nothing short of betrayal. You accepted the terms and conditions before.. so why make a U-turn and then cry foul?

Did he really think Wike would just sit back and applaud him? No, this is a battle he now has to fight, and it won’t be an easy one. Just ask Ambode and others who have been in similar situations.

The frustration has already begun, and 2027 is still far away.
A lot of you just write out of ignorance
When did Fubara tell you he is against godfatherism
Well you like to be a gov and a common LG chair so call you mumu and fool in public and you won't be able to do anything simply because you have a godfather?
Even SanwoOlu removed Obasa recently even with Tinubu as godfather
You guys should stop writing nonsense in support of rubbish na

I really pity the good people of Rivers state. Imagine the future of millions of people been tossed around like dices because of two politicians fighting each other.
It's really sad huh
Never mind.
All it takes is for one major crude export trunk line to go ablaze and the entire political madness by both the federal government and the supreme court will be cured instantly.
Sense of reasoning will immediately fly back into the federal government's skull.

The people of the region are still quietly observing. Just to make sure when the economic chaos starts in the country it will be clear to everyone both nationally and internationally that they were sufficiently pushed to the wall.

SOURCE
What exactly are they up to?

I no support indefinite recess oOoOO!!!


What kind of power play is this?


Gov. Fubara is just by himself.
No legislative house.
No commissioners.
No LGC chairmen.

I hope this is not some form of payback for Gov. Fubara withholding their entitlements and not recognizing them for this long..!!!!


But this is ugly and dirty for them to come up with such approach towards their duties as a house!!!!!
Re: Budget re-presentation: Rivers Assembly adjourns sitting indefinitely by zoedew: 2:44pm On Mar 14, 2025
The tactless Fubara just had his Sim broken! It only lost network connection previously. His goosed is cooked. The HOA had a plan of action they are working at! Just wait and see!!!

Supreme Court has said "No Budget, No Allocation". Now you all know whom the Boss is. The Boss is Wike the wicked one. You will all learn the hard way
Re: Budget re-presentation: Rivers Assembly adjourns sitting indefinitely by Babangidapikin: 2:46pm On Mar 14, 2025
You would still have to seat, you can't hold the state ransom ... Anyway the National Assembly can take over the function of the Rivers State Assembly if they refuse to seat to stop further crisis.
Re: Budget re-presentation: Rivers Assembly adjourns sitting indefinitely by esosuo: 2:46pm On Mar 14, 2025
Fubara has ran out of strategy so let those who have strategy exercise theirs , when he ignored 48hours no white flag for him hand oh , when he go pursue speaker comot for speaker quarters no white flag to fly oh , no when ball don reach speaker hand he wan fly white flag . This is politics and if you don't strategize before you take action you become homeless . You are in politics to dominate don't expect public sympathy play by the book and if you survive good one .

Release the money to who? To the authentic Speaker or to Nyezom Wike? Anything outside that will not work.

Ignorance? No wahala. But let’s not pretend Fubara wasn’t backed by a godfather. If he was comfortable with it then, why the sudden change now? And as for Sanwo-Olu and Obasa, that’s a completely different political dynamic, Tinubu has bigger battles to fight.

Nobody is saying having a godfather is right, but if you accept one, be ready for the baggage that comes with it. That’s just how politics works. Calling it nonsense won’t change the reality.

This 27 trouble makers and their oga John wick are just confuse, there first move from PDP to APC but later denied, the same clowns went to court so the budget will be represented to them, but after wining the case there no longer want the budget represented to them again. Its clear there don't want peace.

😂 😂.... But i said it na that budget presentation no longer serves their interest.

Presenting the budget today will benefit Fubara more than Wike 😂

These are the fools who have been lamenting about the budget... today they dont want it any longer.... approving the budget will give fubara more money to fight but no kobo will enter Wikes hands... una dey see game? 😂

Are we still under any illusion that the 27 clowns are there to serve Rivers people?? Your state has no allocation but you choose to go on recess and like your godfather, have told Rivers people to go to hell... 😂 😂

You are stalling the budget presentation but going after the chief judge. These lawmakers will be so butchered like cows it wont even be funny.

Look at how 1 man has ground a state of 10 million + people to a halt cos of insatiable greed and insulting them ontop of it, saying they can do nothing!!! His treatment will worse than that of Samuel Doe of Liberia.

I pity the 27 clowns and their families... JUDGEMENT DAY IS VERY CLOSE!! AND E GO BRUTAL...

Kai!! But FUBARA too wise sha.... I don't know who is advising him but he has a strategist in his corner. He's subtly UNRAVELLING THESE JOKERS...
No wonder Wike dey lament 😂

Fubara go act weak for court of public opinion... behind, the fellow is dealing with Wike 😂
..if the budget is not represented ..the. how will the 27 lawmakers receive their aasears of salaries and allowances the state governor has been owing them since.. because fubara said he is willing to pay their arrears of salaries

To be frank with you… I’m not an ungrateful person…. I don’t like ungrateful people….
Fubara is shameless….

He wasn’t qualified for the job he got instead of being upmost grateful he is busy burning bridges…..

Go to my State Delta ….Okowa still makes all the appointments….

Fubara knew exactly what he was going into why is he been ungrateful?

Learn to read and understand
Does having a godfather also involve everyone pissing and shitting on you?
Does it also involve unfettered access to the state treasury?
Has Fubara ever said he doesn't want godfather?
I'm still asking you pointedly. Will you because you have a godfather allow your subordinate to call you fool and mumu in public?

They want to create a trap for Fubara to fall into. By suspending sitting indefinitely, Fubara won't be able to present the budget and activities of the state will be put on hold. If he spends money that hasn't being approved, that is a clear impeachable offense. They are choking Fubara and making it nearly impossible for him to govern.
fubara should approach the Court simple

I understand you perfectly, but let’s be real.. when you accept a godfather in politics, you’re signing up for control, whether subtle or direct. The issue isn’t just about being insulted; it’s about the power dynamics that come with the arrangement.

Fubara may not have explicitly rejected godfatherism, but if he was comfortable with it at first and is now resisting, then a clash was inevitable. The real question is: did he go into it with a plan, or is he just reacting now that the pressure is on?
Re: Budget re-presentation: Rivers Assembly adjourns sitting indefinitely by Cherrybae(f): 2:58pm On Mar 14, 2025
Okay
God will see Fubara through. Its well with our state.

We shall overcome.

I remain loyal to Governor Wike

You don't understand me
Is Nwanosike a godfather to Fubara? Or does godfather involve every TD and H pissing on you?
Does godfatherism involve the state treasury becoming the personal pocket of one man?
That's the part you're hiding from
Fubara is saying let the money of the state be fit the state. Let the office of the gov be respected. If not that the godfather is a criminally minded bully, what is out of place in the two above?

Sometimes even the godfather go beyond the conditions and it's becomes choking to the extent u do respond. Check most gothfathers fight with their benefactor

If they didn't complain about Gov. Fubara withholding their entitlements then and they didn't write him to bother about it since he Fubara did not recognize them, then they have no ready to bother now....



From what I see the window they gave the governor to re-present the budget has elapsed and the governor did not make good use of it in the right way.

The governor wanted to have his way with them and not them have their way with him...



This is a subtle power play, they are doing and the governor is actually falling for their bait.
Gov. Fubara will only gather public sympathy and emotional sentiments but these fellows will have their way till a higher authority tells them to call it off completely.
They want to see how far the governor will go to show pride , ego, power play.....


The Ukrainian President just comes to mind.
