If Fubara is allowed to continue with that nansense….. he will only turn himself into another GODFATHER……

Obaseki is a case study…..

This is exactly what we are trying to kids on NL but they keep attacking us
And his wings will still be clipped. Even the obaseki didn't succeed. South doesn't tolerate godfatherism

though FABURA don don pass his boundry before, but now that He is ready to amend it, is high time those Assembly member stop this nonsense, so that state can run smoothly
See ehh the fight is about states funds. Wike won't allow the fight and eventhough Sim kneels except they allocate part off state funds to him and he provides all the commissioners that's the fight. So Wike is just being unrealistic.

My question

Is there any legal way out after the house has refused to sit?
Can fubura go back to court right now?

Agbegbaorogboye:
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?
I get your point, but let’s not act like this isn’t how godfather politics typically plays out. It’s always about control whether it’s money, appointments, or influence. If Fubara wanted full independence, he shouldn’t have aligned himself with Wike in the first place.

That said, if his fight is truly about protecting state funds and dignity, then good for him. But let’s not ignore the reality that this is also about power, not just principles. The same system that brought him in is the one he’s now resisting so, of course, there’s going to be a battle.

Sharom!!

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!!!!!
It's pitiable. The kind of politics Nigerians play. The west we learn this from don't do this rubbish. All they do is for the betterment their people

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 .
Nigeriansss who do u guys this. So politics at the expense of the people. Some of you are clapping. Does this happen from where we copied democracy from?

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.
Shut up jare how many impeachable offence wud they count.....their adjourning indefinitely just shows that they are COWARDS

Why most African leaders see leadership only as political power and their own selfish interests; not as a way to serve the people. That's why Africans are lacking behind.

That was before.
The West has changed.
You see what Trump is doing to that Ukraine fellow, it's what's going to happen....

Go back in time from 1999 till date, all the Presidents of the USA and that of Nigeria have certain peculiar character they showcase in governace and administration and they have been consistent for a reason like that.....

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
True, godfathers often push beyond agreed limits, and that’s when the fallout begins. History has shown that most political godfather-beneficiary relationships don’t end well because power struggles are inevitable.

At some point, the beneficiary either fights back or submits completely. Fubara has chosen to fight, which is his right but he also has to be ready for the consequences that come with it.

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.
Honestly I don't know how people like you reason and which part of the body you reason with.
Whenever I see a comment like yours I get more convinced that Nigeria is going nowhere, it's a doomed country. Such a pity.

Your emotional outburst doesn’t change the facts. If my comment convinces you that Nigeria is doomed, maybe the real problem is how easily triggered you are. You act like logic is your enemy, no wonder simple political analysis sends you into a meltdown.

Instead of whining, and wailing like a headless chicken, try making a valid point. If you can’t, just scroll past and save yourself the stress.

😂 😂.... 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 😂
I want to buy you a glass of beer personally in PH, where can we meet?
Re: Budget re-presentation: Rivers Assembly adjourns sitting indefinitely by okuwehcris: 3:22pm On Mar 14, 2025
Fubora has a right to spend a certain amount of money depending when the budget will be passed, he can also be spending his security vaults pending the budget approval. They Assembly members will not get a penny pending when they are ready to do the needful. They thought the governor will go against the supreme Court judgment, but it's the opposite so they are now confused not knowing the next step to take.

It's a game of chess, the governor will have time to put his LG chairmen waiting till 2027...

You are a very F 0 0 / ! $ # person

They should give Wike HALF of Rivers treasury for himself and his presidential ambition and the full rivers state with over 2 million people should share the remaining half because that was the agreement can you listen to yourself? Are you a D3<!| only $@+@n will agree to such an agreement to the detriment of himself and his people.

The money Wike paid delegates last election where did he get them from? You people ehn this is why your country is the way it is today

I heard February salary has not been paid in Rivers state due to the withheld allocation.

If anything happens to civil servants in Rivers state, the crooked judges that gave that fraudulent judgement should be held responsible.

Next time when fubara want to dance with the devil he will think twice after all when he was signing agreement with wike about becoming the governor nobody knew about it but now that the ship has refused to sail he's not trying to buy our sympathy during the election I never saw anything about River State campaign I felt them who was this incoming government not knowing that wiki I made it possible for him to become the governor with all the agreement I don't pity fubara

Like I said before, Wike and his useless and clueless men will be heavily shamed and disgrace as they are disgraced since 2023, Governor Fubara is winning the war and continue well in his government. I won’t give you much clue here, I will only inform you that Wike’s men and wike are already disgraced. As it stand, Fubara is the best governor since the last 2 years in rivers State and in Niger delta. Already the judiciary in rivers State have made a stand that they are independent. Wike and his men have exposed themselves to the Rivers State electorates on what the electorates should do to them when there’s another election in 2027. Like I said before, Fubara really plans for this war and he’s defeating them in the game well. It’s the electorates that decides who will rule them. Fubara have break the wall of cowardice here. He’s winning and exposing wike and his men who they and the damage they have done in Rivers State. Fubara wining here. Wike’s men should continue to delay the presentation of budget, they will see much defeat in some days to come. I won’t say much things here.

ur a very reasonable person .....Many Nigerians are very foolish and without sense ... Today they are aligning with fubara as though he is saint ....this man had an agreement with Satan then when behind to gather the sympathy of the gullible people always peculiar to our mentality.... during rivers state campaign fubara never came out to stress himself for voters he was one docile lukewarm person now today after going contrary to ur agreement u want to ride on the sympathy of people saying Godfather ism must end.....wat an hypocrite......wike is a very vindictive human tht will never let this man be....

Lmao, look at you foaming at the mouth over a comment. First, calm down before your blood pressure skyrockets over a discussion you’re clearly struggling to comprehend.

Nobody said Wike should take half the treasury your inability to process nuance is your own battle, not mine. But since you’ve proudly 'escaped' 9ja , why are you still so pressed about its politics? Enjoy your Japa life and leave the conversation to those of us who actually live here.

And next time, try making a point without sounding like an overcooked keyboard warrior. It’s embarrassing.

Is the governorship seat/office Wike's property or the property of Rivers people? Why should a man enter into agreement with what actually is not his?

I honestly don't understand why some Nigerians feel entitled instead of privileged.

The judiciary is bastardised because they didn't allow a Governor to take over duly elected house of assembly?
