If not for Federal might, what would be giving Wike the mind to fight a sitting Governor, even to the point of stating that a whole Ijaw nation is a minority inside South-South?

Let's see what comes out of it.

National Assemby has not endorsed the state of emergency in Rivers State. I hope peace will return in the state.

Good post pls let those morons come and see it.

Fubara is a defiant and he is gone.
Re: History Of State Emergency In Nigeria by bestman09(m):
Tinubu is really daft. Why not suspend wike too?
For me, it's a one sided action by this daft President.

He should have also suspended Wike as a minister and from FEC for being a major player to the problem
Even the military administrator na wike man. Hope this action will restore real peace in Port Harcourt

Partisan as how? He called Fubara to Aso Rock the same way he called the Lagos Assembly members but Fubara teachers misled him.

That of 1962, I can remember vividly, Akintola was removed and replaced by Majekodunmi. During Jonathan and Obasanjo, I am not sure the governors were removed, in fact, they were not removed. Why did president remove popularly elected governor in Rivers? Is it constitutional? Governor can only be impeached not sacked.

All these acts will only aggravate matters. I just hope we the citizens, need to be united, praise and blame the government whenever the need arises, rather than playing sycophants to every of their move.

May God heal the country.

With due respect you lack wisdom sir. During the Obasanjo SoE the governors were removed. Jonathan didn't removed any governor cause he didn't have the balls to do it

If not for stupidity and listening to enemies disguised as friends why would a governor demolish a state house of assembly!

Apart from that, he made a statement recently that when the time comes, we will tell the “boys” what to do.

Secondly a militant issued a statement yesterday threatening to bomb pipelines and you as a governor kept quiet?
