Why State Of Emergency Is A Disgrace To Rivers State - Tonye Cole by BlessedGift(op): 1:46am On Mar 19, 2025

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROm7bObvQSk

The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Rivers State in the 2023 election, Tony Cole, has reacted to President Bola Tinubu’s decision to declare a state of emergency in the state, saying it is a disgrace to Rivers people.

Cole stated that the declaration meant that everyone from Rivers State occupying political offices at both the federal and state levels should also step down.

Cole noted that the president faces a very difficult decision regarding the political situation, adding that declaring a state of emergency in the state is a challenging decision for Fubara.

However, he said the necessary political steps to resolve the crisis have yet to be taken, warning that without these actions, the conflict will persist.

He told Channels Television, “Everybody who is a political actor at the federal level should step down. Everybody who is a political actor at the state level should step down. A very hard decision has to be made by the president on the political side.”

Tinubu will surely see that thing he is looking for in river state.

This same Wike disgraced him and APC in Edo state..

If that wasn't enough, he should surely wait for another disgrace in river state

What did Wike do?
Has Wike threatened to burn down the state? You guys should be fair in your judgement and interventions. What did Wike do?
Fubara is to be blamed in all of these including some of you who are not giving him sound advice. How can Fubara start a fight that he hadn't control of just a councillor in the state? Just a councillor! You want to pick up a fight with someone who picked form for you, campaigned with his money, took the bullet on your behalf and just three months in office you started listening to the same people he fought in order to make you? Haba!
The president a season politician called them to give the face up a political solution, Fubara accepted for peace to reign some if you asked him not to. Fubara went to court rejecting every dot of the agreement. He ended up losing all. He even got a worst outcome than the president earlier offered.
Look in River's State today either you want to hear it or not, Wike is a factor to be considered in every political matrix. He is either with you to support you or he is in opposition. This is allowed in democracy. If Atiku or Obi has the lower and upper houses today Tinubu will be impeached tomorrow.
You must respect anyone who has this. Fubara didn't consider this. This is allowed in democracy. No one will give you a chance to rule until you are totally in charge. If someone has a block of what you need you really need to work with them or you face a strong and usually a devastating opposition.

Re: Why State Of Emergency Is A Disgrace To Rivers State - Tonye Cole by papyjaypaul:
I feel sorry for Tonye Cole. When people ask why don't decent people join politics? It's because they make you dirty. When Tinubu was campaigning for APC in the last election, he romanced with Wike but Tonye Cole and Rivers APC did not like the look of it because how can they be asking Rivers State to vote for them but their own Presidential candidate Iwas only interested in his own ambition above party interest. Tonye Cole was confused because the President should have campaigned for the Rivers APC candidate but he couldn't do that because Wike wanted Fubara, Tinubu wanted Rivers.

Tinubu of APC romanced Governor Wike of PDP while his party in Rivers State was trying to win Governorship election. Do you think it is only Wike that is engaging in anti-party activities? I laugh at the people who think this one has won, that one has lost. You can see that these two are not interested in party politics. If their personal interests are satisfied, they can put it above party and country. The parties are just platforms for them to win elections. Dazall!

Tinubu received by Wike in 2023 elections. Yet his own party could not campaign in Rivers

Is Tinubu the only APC member in Nigeria
What about the APC at the national level, why didn’t they also move against tinubu with regards to his flirtations with Wike in Rivers?

It is not personal interest, rather it’s the bigger interest that matters

Sadly, politics anywhere in the world, is give and take.

Did you watch that video? Ganduje was there with him. Rivers APC complained about it just the same way some APC members have complained about Wike being in Tinubu's cabinet. So it's still personal interests. The President is more interested in grab it and run away with it politics even if his party members are not in support. So much for a party leader.

Wike is happy to get a position in Tinubu's government even if he vowed to never join them or work with them. He once said he was not interested in being a Minister after leaving office. That's why I told people in the other thread that I don't see anything new in what El Rufai is saying. He too publicly announced that he was not interested. Wike would rather see his party destroyed and campaign for Mr President in 2027 than to sacrifice his personal lust for his party to return to power.

Selfish APC President. Selfish PDP Minister. It is a matter of time. We have seen things like this before, so I will just watch and enjoy my pure water while they play games like kids. I only respect people who have the interest of the people not the ones that pretend to have the interests of the people at heart.

10yrs ago, Nyesom Wike (as a governor), in a handshake with Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (as Chief of Naval Staff).

Wike promised to gift the Naval Chief a War Ship on that same day, which he later fulfilled.

Yesterday, that same Vice Admiral now retired was appointed as a Sole Administrator of Rivers State arising from the political tussle between Wike and Fubara over power control.

Let's leave aside the Constitutional legitimacy of removing a duly elected Governor.

Was the FG not biased to Gov. Sir Sim Fubara if Nyesom Ezenwo Wike , an appointed Minister and major stakeholder in the whole Rivers crisis remains in office?
