‘Fubara Remains Governor’ – Presidency Insists, Knocks ‘Dangerous’ Peter Obi by NewDigitalWorld(op): 10:57pm On Mar 26, 2025
The Presidency has insisted that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu did not remove but only suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State and his deputy, Ngozi Odu.

The Special Assistant to Tinubu on Social Media, Olusegun Dada, made this known on Wednesday while reacting to former Anambra Governor, Peter Obi’s comment at the birthday colloquium of former Imo State Governor, Emeka Ihedioha.

Naija News reports that Peter Obi, while reacting to the declaration of a State of Emergency in Rivers State by Tinubu, lamented that democracy under the present administration has collapsed.

Reacting, Dada described Peter Obi as a hypocrite and dangerously mischievous for crediting Obasanjo as the foundation layer of democracy.

According to him, democracy collapsed in Rivers when Fubara on 29th October, 2023 created an illegal 4-man state assembly and his private Speaker and later on demolished the parliament building unilaterally.

His statement read: “It is now a fact that Peter Obi only loves creating content of hypocrisy for his base and at the colloquium he didn’t disappoint as usual.

“Mr Obi said democracy under the Tinubu administration has collapsed simply because President Tinubu proclaimed a state of emergency in Rivers State to prevent further deterioration of the political crisis in the state that was already spilling onto the streets and endangering our national assets.

“Obi bizarrely credited Obasanjo as the foundation layer of democracy! What was his reason? That OBJ ‘saved’ him from impeachment.


“First, it appears Peter Obi cannot differentiate between IMPEACHMENT and SUSPENSION. Maybe I’ll have to take him through a brief tutorial:

– President Bola Tinubu did not remove or impeach any elected individual. The President invoked the constitutional power given to him in section 305 to declare a state of emergency in Rivers State.

– In the constitution, the essence of an emergency declaration is to tackle the cause of the emergency and also restore normalcy by deploying every possible means, which MUST be approved by the NASS.


– Both the Rivers Governor and the State Assembly are the actors leading to the creation of the emergency situation. This is why their suspension (AND NOT IMPEACHMENT) for a while became necessary. Fubara remains governor, although he’s currently not exercising the executive powers bestowed on him by the constitution. Same with the members of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

– President Tinubu simply took steps to save democracy in Rivers State. It is also a dull man who doesn’t understand what democracy is all about that will claim he collapsed democracy.


– Democracy collapsed in Rivers when Fubara on 29th October, 2023 created an illegal 4-man state assembly and his private Speaker and later on demolished the parliament building unilaterally. Since then, he basically governed without a parliament which is what constitutes a DEMOCRACY. Without a Parliament, the executive head would just be a DICTATOR or a MONARCH with no one to answer to. When that was the case in Rivers and a governor spent public funds for 14 months without appropriation, Peter Obi and the defenders of democracy were all QUIET.

“Tell me about premium hypocrisy again.


“”Mr Peter Obi eulogising former President Obasanjo as a good Democrat for “trying” to save him from impeachment in 2006 is not only laughable but shows that Obi has short memory or is dangerously mischievous.

“In case Obi has forgotten, let me remind him:

– It was under OBJ that the 2003 election his party APGA won was stolen by the PD through OBJ’s aide who was the unseen godfather operating from Aso Villa.

– He was only able to recover his mandate when the godfather (OBJ aide) who brazenly stole his victory fell out with their godson Ngige and teamed up with him to reclaim his mandate through the courts.


– OBJ’s aide in 2006 plotted Mr Obi’s impeachment and he was served impeachment notice by the lawmakers two days after OBJ visited Anambra State. The lawmakers under two weeks concluded the impeachment in a hotel in Asaba, Delta states. So, that OBJ called you does not mean he saved you from impeachment.

“Finally, Mr Obi may not know that he had COLLAPSED DEMOCRACY in Anambra State when he was governor and for 7 years, and 10 months used Sole Administrators not known to our constitution to administer the 21 LGAs in Anambra State. The LGAs had no Legislative Council (which makes the LGA administration DEMOCRATIC) nor did they receive any FAAC allocation directly. Mr Obi colonised everything.

“Peter Obi needs a Doctorate Degree in Hypocritical Science!”

Everybody talks but their Problem at a gathering and their focus is solely on Peter Obi. This shows something explicit. Peter Obi makes them FEAR and actually won the Election.

See as every miscreant is outdoing each other to attack a Single individual. Even the North will be disappointed and shocked at how those claiming 'Sophisticated and Progressive' as scared shitless about a man they claimed to be a fraud..loser..liar etc etc etc.

This Tinubu regime exposed Yoruba people totally..and it's just a pity that real Omoluabis will be affected by the actions of the touts and renegades that are good at mobilizing numerous idiots into campaigning blindly based on TRIBE..RELIGION etc etc.

Yoruba don cast...and they will suffer immensely for it.

More like a spoiler, a god sent gift to APC, the man who stole his Oga Abubakar Atiku’s votes, obnoxiously helping President Bola Tinubu win the general election.

A very foolish self centered hypocrite indeed, too wise for his own liking, it is his kind of low life wannabe all of sudden Mohammed Suharto disciple that these Jokers take seriously.

A hypocrite the imports commodities, is purportedly advocating consumption to production, but cannot tell us of any of his business ventures that produces anything?

As a minority I can not deny the fact from critical analytics & observation, that Tinubu’s election victory in 2023 really affected & rattled NdIgbos like pigstormentor, Bobloco, racoon & Co.

Hence the word Yoruba Muslim is now perceived an everyday derogatory cliche in & amongst the bigoted minded defeatists.

Fubara is history, a has been yesterday’s story.

No amount of damage control will bring the nicompu back.

It has been just over a week since I last heard the oblivious minded Obidients swear on their Embramba Agulu shrine, that nothing will stop Fubara from completing 2 terms as the Governor of Rivers State?

He did not even last for 2 years.

Typical Empty Barrel Talk is cheap clowns, na only for talk issues them dey win, in action always failing.

Why is he not in govt house?

Lying party filled with clowns

You remove a gov from his office yet still insist he's a gov

Tinubu has already unmasked all his previous pretences to being a democratic and shown himself to be a desperate, power hungry despot who can do anything to get and hold unto power including misusing it

And look at the rubbish this clown is writing

So state of emergency is the prescribed punishment for a gov who behaved despotic in your own constitution abi?

This goes to show that Tinubu just gathered a hand of idiots to sing for him. No regard for ability and competence. Just praise singing and sycophancy

Truly democracy has collapsed under Tinubu. When a President is a godSon to one of his Ministers. When a President is causing problems in all the opposition political parties through the judiciary.

Tinubu is incompetent and we will kick him out of Asso rock in 2027.
