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.
Am happy that despite my typo errors u were still able to decipher my points though u refused to give sound counsel to my points......
Oga if u decide to dine with the underworld and go against them do u expect a member to clap for u.....huh??...fubara hv made compromise with his conscience his simplicity is off to me.........wike is one selfish human .....


They bought form for him
Campaign for him
Did everything to ensure his victory...

Has he ever owned up to this fact......

Am not In support of wike but fubara should either fight to death or leave that seat honorably and let everyone know his agreement with tht years to come he will be remembered and wike will be destroyed

It has now come to a stage where the legislature the (law making arm of government) in Rivers State has been hijacked by a single individual (Nyesom Wike).


That the legislature in the State is operating on the dictates of Wike and, perhaps, some other very powerful forces, even those outside of the State, is no longer in doubt!



This is a very serious threat to democracy!



The welfare and interest of the people of Rivers State is being sacrificed on the alter of political brinkmanship and sheer power tussle.



Proceeding on recess is constitutional but not at the expense of matters of urgent importance, in this case, the representation of the 2025 Rivers State budget.



The House should consider the uppermost interest of the people of the State no matter the grouse they have against the Governor.



This is nothing but sheer political rascality!

The ijaws has been weakened due to them not making right decisions, without them wike would not have grown beyond his ikwerre enclave but it was them that created this monster called wike just to spite amaechi even when it was their time to choose the gov of the state but now he is calling them minority so it serves them right.
The ijaws should act now and not by making unnecessary press releases because if they end up impeaching sim, heaven will not fall like wike said so is better they poke them in the eye so everyone go get sense
They are all jokers, they can't impeach Fubara , it is clear to them now and the reason they are going indefinite closure to create a loss loss for both sides . The ijaws don't strike easily , but when they do , not even the president and the Nigerian defense force cannot stop them... Just save this my comment so when it starts ,you would know I said it ...
Baba Buhari went on his knees to beg Tompolo(Delta Ijaw son) after declaring same man wanted ... Sent minister of NDDC( Sen. Akpabio) and some delegates to go beg on behalf of the federal govt with lots of cash and oil pipelines surveillance contracts.
Even with all the shenanigans of Asari Dokubo(another Ijaw son) for Baba Tinubu to get the contract from Tompolo, Baba Tinubu was still scared to try it.
There is still time for Baba Tinubu to call Wike to order , else when it starts those boys will not listen to him . I remember Boy loaf saying oil pipelines surveillance contracts it's not a favour to Ijaw nation because they aren't protecting the north tomatoes and peppers but their own crude oil and if they chooses to destroy it , they stand t lose nothing but Nigeria will lose most

Oga rest. The development of River State and the future of the people of the state supercede the interest of any godfather.

Any 'agreement' that is at the expense of the interest of the people and the development of the state is not worth fulfilling. A godfather whose interest is at the detriment of the interest of the people deserves to be betrayed.


Ndenomy:
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.

It's a waste of time. The had already planned to go on vacation for 12weeks before now. Fubara can get loans from the banks for the government activities and salaries for the workers, and pay back when the budget is passed.
Whatever happens in Rivers State, hold the jurists at the Supreme Court responsible. They wouldn't be on vacation forever. They must come back.
Thank God Fubara wrote them before they adjourned their sitting.
Arrant nonsense.

Court does not live on emotions.

Court was not the one who sent him to be calling them Rats to be killed with Ota piapia.

They have spoken to much that they couldn't withdraw the rubbish used in creating the bad blood.

Governor is still the one who can use his position to get them o.

They are truly angry with someone who illegally denied them what is due to them for 1.5 years.

Someone who threatened theirs and their family's life.

He needs to seek them back.

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.
.. when they told fubara to represent the budget..fubara told them he has not yet receive the certified true copy of the supreme court judgement yet and read it and study it to be sure of what the supreme court judgement said but not to rely on social media news supreme court judgement...then when he receive the certified true copy of the supreme court judgement and go through it...then he will comply with the supreme court judgement and represent the budget to the law makers.....but since he got the certified true copy of the supreme court judgement and want to represent the budget the law makers do not want to co.operate with him

Thundafireseun:
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?
Talking about being grateful, do you know Wike chose the speaker, and appointed a lot of Fubara's cabinet members, before they all chose to resign as instructed by the emperor. Fubara yielded so much to Wike. The problem started with wanting to dictate to Fubara how funds of the state will be spent. WHile Wike wanted funds of the state to be used to consolidate his political empire, Fubara realized that he will the one that will answer for misappropriation, if na u weytin u go do. Fubara was begging for a long time before the man was left with no option. The wike commissioners started abusing him, imagine u are governor and the people working for u as commissioners are just working against ur instructions, yet fubara did not sack them. They resigned, and when president mediated, they decided to cpome back-is that not weak enough on the part of the governor, Can anybody do that to Wike.
Fubara has never said WIke did not help him become governor, he always maintained that God used him but he will not hand Rivers money to be misappropriated by someone else when the person will not be the one to answer for it. Okowa made appointments, YES are those appointees not working in line with the program of the governor they are working for? To make appointments is not the issue.

Gov. Fubara is playing a deliberate game alongside the Ahmaewule team. They are all baiting themselves.
Gov. Fubara saying the CTC has not been handed to his lawyers and can't rely on the social media version....

Has anyone come out to say the social media version and the CTC now in his custody has any differences...? Absolutely, no.

Gov. Fubara was given a 48 hour window. He was waiting for CTC document. He was given another 48 hours. He received the CTC he was waiting for refused to talk about the budget representation but rather he sent them a social media invite for a meeting regarding their entitlements and so forth....


It is all a ploy by the governor .He knows exactly what he is doing. I see a script being played out deliberately by himself and the others. It all looks like what they have rehearsed over time.

Lastly, the governor does not want to go on their terms like they are the ones controlling him. He wants them to come on his terms like he is the one calling the shots..
He can't get that done the way he is going about it.when there's a bad blood already between them.

If he is trying to get Rivers people to go against the legislative house or bring harm to any of them , there will be serious chaos and the unfortunate ones will loose their lives.

If he is trying to get social media and public emotional sympathy when the FAAC is not paid and he will make it look like it's the fault of Ahmaewule and his team, they will in turn tell it to his face that he has held on to their entitlements for months and no one cared how their fed or well being and welfare since it was said that hungry will kill them...

So he should be the one to be blamed if he can't pay civil servants because of FAAC allocation not paid the State or some other bureaucratic issue......


That is what it will turn out to be.

We are well known of these stories and it's facts.

But the truth is that Gov. Fubara should come out clean and tell Rivers people himself with the use of his own mouth rather than what we are being told by those who say they are close to inside government house.

There's always a twist to some of it.

Gov. Fubara cannot deny the fact that he doesn't understand the situation he was going into from the onset except I'll say maybe now that he is the governor, he is personally seeing Rvers State allocation nearer rather than before and something in him is crying Freeman....

No one should support this reckless act.
The Governor has offered the olive branch and these guys are thinking they are more powerful than the governor .
Which Mumu olive branch did he offer? Are we kids here? He is only doing this because he has no other option. There are some lines you just don’t cross. You fight the person who made you Governor in less than 3 months after. Do you know what it takes to be a Governor in a state like rivers? What kind of wickedness is that and he is going around media looking for sympathy? He shot at their heart and missed. Now it is their turn. This is a battle for survival. Whoever wins would move to crush the other completely which is what you’re seeing now. If I know Wike well. Fubara will be impeached. Only God can save him, forget all those rubbish threat from Hungry Ijaws .

Why should governance stop because some people feels like they are bigger than the other and the courts will take sides with them
